Never been much for wastin' time
Always had to spit it out, what crossed my mind
I don't need no woman, to jerk me around
Hangin' her head down
Start some fussin' and a cryin', cryin'

So listen...

If you're gonna let me down
Don't try and make it easy
If you're gonna let me down
Baby let the hammer down
Just leave me, leave me woman

Don't let me down easy
I know you don't need me
Just take a knife and twist it in my heart

In this world, you get your share of rainy days
Girl, I won't be your slave
You cold hearted woman
Hear the front door fall
Suitcase bounces like a ball
I tear your picture off the wall
I won't be cryin', no...listen to me

If you gonna let me down
Don't try and make it easy, easy woman

Don't let me down easy
I know you don't need me
Just take a knife and twist inside my heart
Don't let me down easy
It won't work on a man like me
If it's over now, just bring your hammer down
Bring it down

Oh dear Lord, have mercy on my soul
I never meant to be so cold, cold, cold
Let it just once
When that fire burns my heart
Let it be from love and not anger

(Solo)

Bring it down

Yeah
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down easy
