I’m Goin’ Down

Mary J. Blige

Reflections - A Retrospective, 1994, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Time on my hands
Since you've been away, boy
I ain't got no plans, no no no no
And the sound of the rain, against my windowpane
Is slowly, is slowly drivin' me insane, boy
I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
'Cause you ain't around, baby
My whole world's upside down
Sleep don't come easy
Boy, please believe me
Since you've been gone, everything's goin' wrong
Why'd you have to say, “Goodbye”?
Look what you've done to me
I can't stop these tears from fallin' from my eyes, ooh baby
I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
'Cause you ain't around, baby
My whole world's upside down
Ooh, baby love
Goin' down, goin' down
Mmm, I'm goin' down
Ooh I, I
I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
'Cause you ain't around, baby
My whole world's upside down
Ooh, goin' down, goin' down
Oh, I don't know what to do
If I ever lose you, I'll be goin' down
I said, “I'll be goin' down”
Oh, please forgive me, baby
I'm so sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
What did I do wrong?
I said, “What did I do wrong?”
Please forgive me, baby, and come on home
Goin' down
Goin' down
Goin' down
Mmm
