We sit in the car outside our house
I can feel the heat coming 'round
I go to put my arm around you and you
give me a look like I'm way out of bounds
you let out one of your bored sighs
well lately, when I look into your eyes
I'm goin' down, down, down, down
I'm goin' down, down, down, down

We get dressed up
and we go out baby for the night
we come home early burning, burning
burning in some fire fight
I'm sick and tired of your setting me up
setting me up just to knock-a, knock-a
knock-a me down, down, down
I'm goin' down, down, down, down

I pull you close now, baby
but when we kiss I can feel a doubt
I remember back when we started
my kisses used to turn you inside out
I used to drive you to work in the morning
on Friday night I'd drive you all around
you used to love to drive me wild, girl
but lately girl you get your kicks from just
driving me down, down, down
I'm goin' down, down, down, down
