When I look around and see,
All the pain and misery,
I'm left sad and feeling blue,
Cuz there's nothing I can do,
So I have to get away,
From the pain I see each day,
In a world that makes me cry,
I'm only happy when I'm high,

Don't bring me down,
I'm only happy when I'm high,
Don't bring me down,
I'm only happy when I'm high,
Don't bring me down,
I'm only happy when I'm high,

You may have the point of view,
That I'm wrong in what I do,
That I'm weak and immature,
But I know one thing's for sure,
If every boy and every girl,
All got stoned around the world,
We'd all let live and not let die,
We'd all be happy cuz we're high,

Don't bring me down,
I'm only happy when I'm high,
Don't bring me down,
I'm only happy when I'm high,
Don't bring me down,
I'm only happy when I'm high,

When I look around and see,
All the pain and misery,
I'm left sad and feeling blue,
Cuz there's nothing I can do,
So I have to get away,
From the pain I see each day,
In a world that makes me cry,
I'm only happy when I'm high,

Don't bring me down,
I'm only happy when I'm high,
Don't bring me down,
I'm only happy when I'm high,
Don't bring me down,
I'm only happy when I'm high,

When I'm high,
I'm only happy (x8)

Don't bring me down.
