Lyrics Bobby Darin – Down So Long

Down, down, down so long

Yes… I’ve been down so long
Gettin’ up never crossed my mind
I’ve been down so long

I’ve a-been pushed
And I’ve a-been shoved
I’ve been everything but loved

I’ve been down so long
Gettin’ up never crossed my mind
I’ve been down so long
That the tears roll up my cheek

My sense of right is wrong
And my sense of strong is weak
Ever since you went away
My life has been one hell to pay

And I’ve been down so long
Yes… gettin’ up never crossed my mind
Tell me if you know what I mean, children?

Gettin’ up never crossed my mind
Ooh… sing it with some soul now
Gettin’ up never crossed my mind
Tell me what never crossed your mind?
Gettin’ up never crossed my mind
