It all started at a corner table Sippin' on a Jack and Coke When the sun found us the next mornin' We were actin' like married folk The weekend, it weakened me And drained me of my will, you got me Goin' down hill, you got me goin' down hill And still I can't get my fill of you I've spent all my money I've lost my respect You got me walkin' in circles, honey And I'm a nervous wreck I stay just one step Ahead of a welfare dollar bill, you got me Goin' down hill, you got me goin' down hill And still I can't get my fill of you And I was voted most likely back in '79 I was headed right to the top Honey, all I needed was time But you put some lovin' on me I swear was so unreal, you got me Goin' down hill, you got me goin' down hill And still I can't get my fill of you I can't eat, I can't sleep, I think about you From daylight to dawn I bet I won't weigh fifteen pounds When they drag my body home Just like a junkie hooked on dope I'm hooked on your thrill Goin' down hill, you got me goin' down hill And still I can't get my fill of you
