When you complain and criticize 
I feel  I'm nothing in your eyes.,
It makes me feel like givin' up 
Because my best just ain't good enough.
Girl I want to provide for you and 
Do the things you want me to!
 
But oh, oh, no, don't bring me down!
Oh, baby you know!
Oh, oh, no, don't bring me down!
 
Sacrifices I will make,
I'm ready to give as well as take,
One thing I need is your respect,
One thing I can't take is your neglect,
More than anything I need your love
Then trouble's easy to rise above.
 
But oh, oh, no, don't bring me down!
Oh, baby you know!
Oh, oh, no, don't bring me down!
 
When you complain and criticize 
I feel  I'm nothing in your eyes.,
It makes me feel like givin' up 
Because my best just ain't good enough.
Girl I want to provide for you and 
Do the things you want me to!
 
But oh, oh, no, don't bring me down!
Oh, baby you know!
Oh, oh, no, don't bring me down!
Oh, oh, no, don't bring me down!
Oh, oh, no, don't bring me down!
Oh, oh, no, don't bring me down!

The Animals

The Animals were an English band of the 1960s, formed in Newcastle upon Tyne during the early part of the decade. The band relocated to London on finding fame in 1964. The Animals were known for their gritty, bluesy sound and deep-voiced frontman Eric Burdon, as exemplified by their signature song and transatlantic No.1 hit single, "The House of the Rising Sun", as well as by hits such as "We Gotta Get out of This Place", "It's My Life", and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". The band balanced tough, rock-edged pop singles against rhythm and blues-oriented album material. They were known in the US as part of the British Invasion. more »
