Kick You When You're Down Lyrics

As you're slipping down the wall
And you're headin' for a fall
As you're slippin' down the wall

Why do they kick you when you're down?
Why do they kick you when you're down?

Hey mama
Why are you beatin' on my head?

Hey, hey woman
Why do you kick me outta bed? I said
Is it something?
Is it something that I said?

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 heading for a fall

Why do they kick you when you're down?
Why do they kick you when you're down?

Shady lady
You think that money grows on trees
Rotten apples by the barrel
Ain't a delicacy you see

Is this the way
The way it's meant to be? 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 heading for a fall

Why do they kick you when you're down?
(Oh no) So down

No need to say
To say it ain't no sacrifice

Oh no
Oh no

Is this the way
The way it's meant to be?

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 heading 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 try
To trick you when you're down
