"I'm Down" Lyrics

by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

As Released by the Beatles (1965)

You tell lies thinking I can't see
You can't cry 'cos you're laughing at me
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down).

How can you laugh when you know I'm down?
(How can you laugh) when you know I'm down?

Man buys ring, woman throws it away
Same old thing happen every day.
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down).

How can you laugh when you know I'm down?
(How can you laugh) when you know I'm down?

Ow!

We're all alone and there's nobody else
You still moan keep your hands to yourself
I'm down (I'm really down)
Oh baby, I'm down (down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down).

How can you laugh when you know I'm down?
(How can you laugh) when you know I'm down?

Wah!
Hurry up John
Wuh!
Can you hear me?
Ow - ow - ow - wuh!
Baby you know I'm down (I'm really down)
Oh yes, I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down on the ground (I'm really down)
Ah, down (I'm really down)
Oh baby, I'm upside-down
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm down (I'm really down)
Oh baby, I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm feeling upside-down (I'm really down)
Ooo, I'm down (I'm really down)
Baby, I'm down, yeah
Oh baby, I'm down, yeah
Baby, I'm down (I'm really down)
Well baby, I'm down (I'm really down)
Upside, upside, upside-down
Oh baby, I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down
Yeah, aah - ooo I'm down (down on the ground)
Ooo, you know I'm...
