Don't Let It Get You Down

When no friends can't be found

And my girl is out of town

I come home to empty house

The telephone is all I have

When my plans don't work out

Mama says, don't let it get you down

Don't let it get you down

There's a club I can't get in

Every week it's the same damn thing

I get mad, I want to cry

It's my skin they don't like

When my plans don't work out

Mama says, don't let it get you down

Don't let it get you down

Now my world don't look good

Not the way I know it should

And my time is running short

I didn't do all I ought

When my plans don't work out

Mama says, don't let it get you down

Don't let it get you down

When my plans don't work out

Mama says, don't let it get you down

Don't let it get you down
