Don’t let it get you down 
When you’re not on top 
winner stumbles too 
But gets up and never stops, no 
Ain’t it a doggone shame 
Loving ain’t a friendly game 

Don’t let it get you down, oh no 
Don’t let it get you down 
When the cards are marked 
Pick up what’s left and walk away 
Before you lose your heart 
Don’t look back, girl 
Ain’t it a doggone shame 
Loving ain’t a friendly game 
Don’t let it get you down, oh no 

Look at me 
Don’t it seem like I know what I’m talking about 
Talk to me 
Let me be, be the one 
I could straighten it out 
Girl 
Don’t let it get you down 

Ain’t it a doggone shame 
Loving ain’t a friendly game 
Don’t let it get you down 
I can bring you sunshine, make you happy 
Ain’t no cloudy skies hanging over me, yeah 
Don’t let it get you down 

Don’t let it get you down 
You can start again 
Now yesterday is gone 
Let tomorrow be your friend 
Hey, don’t look back girl 
My love is straight ahead 
Don’t let it get you down 
Oh no 

Look at me 
Don’t it seem like I know what I’m talking about 
Talk to me 
Let me be, be the one 
I could straighten it out, girl 
I could straigthen it out, girl 

Don’t let it get you down.
