Lyrics

Put Me Down

[Verse 1]

Ah, let me take you by the hand

Away from here to another land

Oh, this land in which we live

Where people love and are meant to forgive

[Hook]

And you always prove me wrong

'Cause you're always puttin' me down

[Verse 2]

I can't take this anymore

I decided to leave, walked out through the door

Oh, and why do you think I go

Because you know it can never be so

[Hook]

And you always prove me wrong

'Cause you're always puttin' me down

[Refrain]

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, la la la

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, la la la

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 1]

So let me take you by the hand

Away from here to another land

Oh, this land in which we live

Where people love and are meant to forgive

[Hook]

And you always prove me wrong

'Cause you're always puttin' me down

[Refrain]

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, la la la

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, la la la

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, la la la

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, la la la

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
