Going down on love
Going down on love
Going down, going down, going down

Something precious and rare
Disappears in thin air
And it seems so unfair
Nothing doin' nowhere
Well, you burn all your boats
And you sow your wild oats
Well, you know, you know, you know the price is right

Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees (repeat)


NOTE: "[...] It had quite a lot to do with Yoko and I, whether I
knew it or not, and then suddenly I was out on me own. [...] It
was like something - probably meself - kept hitting me while I
was trying to do something. I was still trying to carry on a
normal life and the whip never let up - for eighteen months.
So... That's what was going on." (John Lennon)
