(sacrifices...)

Sacrifices I will make

I'm ready to give as well as take

One thing I need is your respect

One thing I can't take is your neglect

More than anything, I need your love

G7

Then troubles are easy to rise above

I'm beggin' oh, no, don't bring me down, oh no no

Baby, please, oh no, no, don't bring me down

I need your tender loving

(Oh, woman, you can't do that to me)

Oh, please, don't bring me down

Oh, baby, baby, don't hurt me

(Don't hurt me don't hurt me please) [fade]
