I don't know why, there's an open flame
Burnin' in the game, it's me you blame
I can't deny, it was a crime

If you would let me try, maybe you'd change your mind





Don't be down on me baby

Down on me girl
I get lost sometimes
In my crazy world


Those little things, you say I do
Well they might be true

Tell me what good does it do...
When things go wrong, I'm the first you blame
I try another way, still someone's gotta pay


Don't be down on me baby
Down on me girl

I get lost sometimes
In my crazy world


Don't be down on me baby
'Cause I love you
'Cause I need you
