I'm Down
Authors: Lennon, McCartney; Lead vocal: McCartney

You telling lies thinkin' I can't see
You can't cry 'cause you're laughin' at me
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh, when you know I'm down?
(How can you laugh?) When you know I'm down

Man buys ring, woman throws it away
Same old thing happen every day
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down?
(How can you laugh?) When you know I'm down

(guitar solo)

We're all alone and there's nobody else
You still moan "Keep your hands to yourself!"
I'm down (I'm really down)
Baby I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh, when you know I'm down?
(How can you laugh?) When you know I'm down

(solo)

Baby you know I'm down! (I'm really down)
Yes I'm down! (I'm really down)
I'm Down on the ground! (I'm really down)
Ahh! down!! (I'm really down)
Baby I'm upside down (down)
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, down!! (I'm really down)
Oh baby I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm feelin' upside down (I'm really down)
Ooh, I'm down (I'm really down)
Baby I'm down, yeah! Oh, baby I'm down yeah!
Baby I'm down! (I'm really down)
Oh, Baby I'm down! (I'm really down)
Baby baby baby!! (I'm really down)...
