The Boss made me cry (music)

I didn't even like this song when it was popular. Now, of course, it has nostalgia value, so I cranked it up when I heard it come on the radio. Then I listened to the lyrics.

I seem to have a penchant for songs that have upbeat tunes and sad lyrics.

Bruce Springsteen - I'm going down







We sit in the car outside your house you're quiet

I can feel the heat coming 'round

I go to put my arm around you

And you give me a look like I'm way out of bounds

Well you let out one of your bored sighs

Well lately when I look into your eyes

I'm going down, down, down, down

I'm going down, down, down, down

I'm going down, down, down, down

I'm going down, down, down, down



We get dressed up and we go out, baby, for the night

We come home early burning, burning in some fire fight

I'm sick and tired of you setting me up

Setting me up just to knock-a knock-a knock-a me down

Down, down, down

I'm going down, down, down, down

I'm going down, down, down, down

I'm going down, down, down, down



I pull you close now baby but when we kiss I can feel a doubt

I remember back when we started

My kisses used to turn you inside out

I used to drive you to work in the morning

Friday night I'd drive you all around

You used to love to drive me wild

But lately girl you get your kicks from just driving me down
