Say that love has left you black and blue
Say you're leavin' town, sayin' you're all through
Careful when you're runnin', baby, you could take a fall
Down in the gutter, girl, when you coulda had it all
Yesterday is long ago
And when the nighttime comes
You're lookin' for tomorrow
Yeah, lookin' for tomorrow, yeah
Baby, don't drag me down
Baby, don't drag me down
Baby, don't drag me down
Baby, don't drag me down, down
Deep inside your world you're feelin' so alone
Smoke another cigarette but you don't pick up the phone
That face in front of you just don't disappear
That face in front of you, baby
Don't shed you no tears, no
Yesterday is long ago
And when the night time comes
You're lookin' for tomorrow
Yeah, lookin' for tomorrow, yeah
Baby, don't drag me down
Baby, don't drag me down
Baby, don't drag me down
Baby, don't drag me down
Rain is fallin' on your masquerade
Lookin' out the window at the mad parade
I can see the sun is shinin', just wait and see
It's comin' down, baby, down on you and me, yeah
Yesterday is long ago
And when the nighttime comes
You're lookin' for tomorrow
You're lookin' for tomorrow, yeah
Baby, don't drag me down
Baby, don't drag me down
Baby, don't drag me down
Baby, don't drag me down
