Lyrics
I wanna sing a song about pride, listen
You know, I love you more than anything
But you got that mountain of pride standing in between
This is what you gotta do
You gotta tear it on down, down, down
Tear it on down, down, down
Tear it on down, down, down
Tear it on down, down, down
Tear it down (Tear it down), let it crumble
Tear it on down to the ground
Tear it down, let it crumble
'Cause when you think only of yourself
You can't love nobody else
And when you laugh at those who love
It means you place yourself too high above
Boy, I need you desperately
But with your head in the air, you can't see me
With your head in the air, you don't know me, hmm
Tear it on down (Down, down), down, down
Tear it on down (Down, down), down, down
Why don't you tear it down (Tear it down), let it crumble
Tear it on down to the ground
Tear it down (Tear down), let go the pride
In order to live life for what it's worth
You must first come down to earth
Until you face reality
You're just, you're just a shadow of what you could be
Now, I won't promise sugar and spice
But I'm willing to make any sacrifice
And I need your love even more than life
(So why don't you tear it down?) So why don't you tear it down?
(So why don't you tear it down?) Why don't you tear it on down?
Yeah, tear it on down (Down, down)
Move it on out the way (Down, down, down)
Let go the pride
Why don't you tear it? (Why don't you tear it?)
Why don't you tear it on down, baby? (Why don't you tear it on down?)
It's just a masquerade (Why don't you tear it on down?)
So why don't you let it be?
You better tear it (Down, down, down) on down, down
I need you desperately (Why don't you tear it on down?)
But in order to see me
You gotta tear it (You gotta tear it)
You gotta tear it on down, baby (Down, down, down)
You gotta tear it down (Why don't you tear it on down?)
You know, I love you more than anything
But you got that mountain of pride standing in between
This is what you gotta do
You gotta tear it on down, down, down
Tear it on down, down, down
Tear it on down, down, down
Tear it on down, down, down
Tear it down (Tear it down), let it crumble
Tear it on down to the ground
Tear it down, let it crumble
'Cause when you think only of yourself
You can't love nobody else
And when you laugh at those who love
It means you place yourself too high above
Boy, I need you desperately
But with your head in the air, you can't see me
With your head in the air, you don't know me, hmm
Tear it on down (Down, down), down, down
Tear it on down (Down, down), down, down
Why don't you tear it down (Tear it down), let it crumble
Tear it on down to the ground
Tear it down (Tear down), let go the pride
In order to live life for what it's worth
You must first come down to earth
Until you face reality
You're just, you're just a shadow of what you could be
Now, I won't promise sugar and spice
But I'm willing to make any sacrifice
And I need your love even more than life
(So why don't you tear it down?) So why don't you tear it down?
(So why don't you tear it down?) Why don't you tear it on down?
Yeah, tear it on down (Down, down)
Move it on out the way (Down, down, down)
Let go the pride
Why don't you tear it? (Why don't you tear it?)
Why don't you tear it on down, baby? (Why don't you tear it on down?)
It's just a masquerade (Why don't you tear it on down?)
So why don't you let it be?
You better tear it (Down, down, down) on down, down
I need you desperately (Why don't you tear it on down?)
But in order to see me
You gotta tear it (You gotta tear it)
You gotta tear it on down, baby (Down, down, down)
You gotta tear it down (Why don't you tear it on down?)
