Down on me – down on me.
Looks like everybody in this whole wide world
Is down on me.

Love in this world is so hard to find
When you’ve got yours and I got mine.
That’s why it looks like everybody in this whole wide world
Is down on me.

Saying they’re down on me – down on me.
Looks like everybody in this whole wide world
Down on me.

When you see a hand that’s held out toward you
Give it some love, some day it may be you.
That’s why it looks like everybody in this whole wide world
They’re down on me, yeah.

Oh Lord, they’re down on me – down on me, ohh!
Looks like everybody in this whole wide world
Is down on me.

Believe in your brother, have faith in man
Help each other, honey if you can
Because it looks like everybody in this whole wide world
Is down on me.

I’m saying they’re down on me – oh down on me, ohh!
Looks like everybody in this whole wide world
Down on me!! ¥Ç¥
