Lyrics of I'm Goin' Down by Mary J. Blige
verse
Time on my hands
Since you been away boy
I ain′t got no plans
No no no no
And the sound of the rain
Against my window pane
Is slowly, is slowly drivin' me insane, boy
chorus
I′m goin' down
I'm goin′ down
Cause you ain′t around baby
My whole world's upside down
verse
Sleep don′t come easy
Boy please believe me
Since you been gone
Everything's goin′ wrong
Why'd you have to say goodbye
Look what you′ve done to me
I can't stop these tears from fallin' from my eyes
Ooh baby
Oooh baby love
Goin′ down, goin′ down
Mmm ooh I'm goin′ down
Ooh I, I...
chorus
I'm goin′ down
I'm goin′ down
Cause you ain't around baby
My whole world's upside down
bridge
Ooh, goin′ down
Goin′ down
Oh, I don't know what to do
If I ever lose you
I′ll be goin' down
I said I′ll be goin' down
verse
Oh, please forgive me baby
I′m so sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
What did I do wrong?
I said, what did I do wrong?
Please forgive me baby
And come on home
outro
Goin' down, goin' down, goin′ down
Writer(s): Norman Jesse Whitfield
