Kick You When You’re Down

Lyrics

[Intro] As you're slippin' down the wall And you're headin' for a fall As you're slippin' down the wall [Refrain] Why do they kick you when you're down? Why do they kick you when you're down? (Woah) [Verse 1] Hey, mama Why are you beatin' on my head? Hey, hey, woman Why do you kick me outta bed? I said [Pre-Chorus] Is it somethin' Is it somethin' that I said? [Chorus] Oh no, why do they kick you when you're down? Oh no, why do they kick you when you're down? Oh no, as you're slippin' down the wall And you're headin' for a fall Why do they kick you when you're down? Why do they kick you when you're down? [Verse 2] Shady lady You think that money grows on trees Rotten apples by the barrel ain't a delicacy And you see [Pre-Chorus] Is this the way The way it's meant to be? [Chorus] Oh no, why do they kick you when you're down? Oh no, why do they kick you when you're down? Oh no, as you're slippin' down the wall And you're headin' for a fall Why do they kick you when you're down? [Post-Chorus] (Oh no) So down And I don't need to say To say it ain't a sacrifice [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Oh no Oh no [Pre-Chorus] Is this the way The way it's meant to be? [Chorus] Oh no, why do they kick you when you're down? Oh no, why do they kick you when you're down? Oh no, as you're slippin' down the wall And you're headin' for a fall Why do they kick you when you're down? Oh no, why do they kick you when you're down? Oh no, why do they kick you when you're down? Oh no, why do they kick you? Man, they're tryin' to trick you when you're down
