I drew a face that smiled in a notebook
As I sketched it out I was hoping
It would change your mind
But it didn't
You excuse yourself for a minute
I get the impression you're mad
This doesn't feel like it should
Why should I ever feel bad
When I tell you something good?
You only love me when I'm down
Only love
Only love
Only love me
When I'm down
Only love
Only love
Only love me
When I'm down
Only love
Only love
I pointed at the clouds as they scattered
And I said out loud what's the matter?
You gave me a look without an answer
Your silence made it clearer than ever
Why should I ever feel bad
When I tell you something good?
I've given you all that I have
Ah, but now it's understood
You only love me when I'm down
Only love
Only love
Only love me
When I'm down
Only love
Only love
Only love me
When I'm down
Only love
Only love
I guess it's not your style
To be second
Now I'm reckon
What kind of lover acts like that?
Your intention is for attention
You only love me when I'm down
Only love
Only love
Only love me
When I'm down
Only love
Only love
Only love me
When I'm down
Only love
Only love
Only love
Only love
Only love
Only love
Only love
Only love...
