Down On Me Lyrics

Down on me, down on me,
Looks like everybody in this whole round world
They're down on me.


Love in this world is so hard to find
When you've got yours and I got mine.
That's why it looks like everybody in this whole round world
They're down on me.


Saying they're down on me, down on me.
Looks like everybody in this whole round world
Down on me.


When you see a hand that's held out toward you,
Give it some love, some day it may be you.
That's why it looks like everybody in this whole round world
They're down on me, yeah.


Lord, they're down on me, down on me, oh!
Looks like everybody in this whole round world
Is down on me.

Believe in your brother, have faith in man,
Help each other, honey, if you can
Because it looks like everybody in this whole round world
Is down on me.


I'm saying down on me, oh, down on me, oh!
It looks like everybody in this whole round world
Down on me!!

Cover art for Down On Me lyrics by Janis Joplin

I...cannot believe that nobody has posted on this song. It is so amazing. And it's obviously Janis' typical point of view that everyone in the world is against her, and that love is the only thing that makes her feel better.
