I don't know why, there's an open flame
Burnin' in the game, it's me you blame
I can't deny, it was a crime
If you would let me try, maybe you'd change your mind

Don't be down on me baby
Down on me girl
I get lost sometimes
In my crazy world

Those little things, you say i do
Well they might be true
Tell me what good does it do...
When things go wrong, i'm the first you blame
I try another way, still someone's gotta pay

Don't be down on me baby
Down on me girl
I get lost sometimes
In my crazy world

Don't be down on me baby
'cause i love you
'cause i need you
