So close to what you want the most
And gosh darn, you've worked so hard
Then one fine day it just don't go your way
You're beaten
Defeated
Down and out but people watchin at the cafe
You get to know yourself better than you'd like to admit
You're caught wrestling with your thoughts
You can't go nowhere
But here you're lost
Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down
You try to keep your spirits high
But you're down, down most of the time
You're not dead yet, but it's getting hard to get out of bed
You can put this behind you
With only one foot at a time
Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down
Take the punches like Ali
Do your best to keep yourself at ease
And if the sky comes fallin down
Wait for another day for things to go your way
Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down
