Escrita
Carole King e Gerry Goffin, foi gravada pelos Animals no início de
1966 e lançada em 17 de maio de 1966 num compacto que tinha Cheating
como Lado B. Foi a terceira gravação épica dos Animals do Brill
Building. As duas primeiras foram We gotta get out of this place, de
1965 e It's my life, do mesmo ano.
O arranjo
dos Animals tinha um pulsante riff de órgão de Dave Rowberry, com
uma linha de baixo potente de Chas Chandler e uns acordes fuzz de
guitarra de Hilton Valentine. Don't bring me down foi um grande hit,
chegando ao número 6 no Reino Unido, número 12 nos charts pop
americanos, número 3 no Canadá e número 17 na Alemanha.
A letra:
When you
complain, and criticize
I feel I'm nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel like giving up
Because my best just ain't good enough
Girl I want to provide for you
And do all the things you want me to
Oh, oh no, don't bring me down
I'm begin' you darlin'
Oh, oh no, don't bring me down
Sacrifices how we 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
Woman anything I need your love
And troubles are easy to rise above
Oh, oh no
Don't bring me down
Oh no, no, no
Oh, oh no
Don't bring me down
You complain, and criticize
I feel I'm nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel like giving up
Because my best just ain't good enough
Girl I want to provide for you
And do all the things you want me to
Oh, oh no, don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
I'm Beggin'
Oh, oh no, don't bring me down
I feel I'm nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel like giving up
Because my best just ain't good enough
Girl I want to provide for you
And do all the things you want me to
Oh, oh no, don't bring me down
I'm begin' you darlin'
Oh, oh no, don't bring me down
Sacrifices how we 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
Woman anything I need your love
And troubles are easy to rise above
Oh, oh no
Don't bring me down
Oh no, no, no
Oh, oh no
Don't bring me down
You complain, and criticize
I feel I'm nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel like giving up
Because my best just ain't good enough
Girl I want to provide for you
And do all the things you want me to
Oh, oh no, don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
I'm Beggin'
Oh, oh no, don't bring me down
