Down
Jay Sean Lyrics

Baby are you down, down, down, down down? (Down, down)
Asking if the listener is ready to let go of their worries and be carefree

Even if the sky is falling down? (Down, down)
Reassuring the listener that they will still have someone to rely on even in the worst of times

You oughta know, tonight is the night to let it go
Encouraging the listener to live in the moment and forget about their troubles

Put on a show, I wanna see how you lose control
Challenging the listener to show their true self and have fun

So leave it behind 'cause we have a night to get away
Emphasizing the importance of forgetting about responsibilities and enjoying the present

So come on and fly with me, as we make our great escape
Inviting the listener to join the artist in a carefree adventure

Baby don't worry, you are my only
Declaring the listener's importance and value to the artist

You won't be lonely, even if the sky is falling down
Assuring the listener that they will have someone to rely on in tough times

Just let it be, come on and bring your body next to me
Suggesting physical intimacy to further connect with the listener

I'll take you away, hey, turn this place into our private getaway
Promising to create a private and intimate space with the listener

Down like she 'posed to be
Praising the listener for dancing in a way that is expected or accepted

She gets down low for me
Describing the listener's willingness to physically engage with the artist

Down like her temperature, 'cause to me she zero degrees
Comparing the listener's energy to a low temperature that excites the artist

She cold, over freeze
Emphasizing the listener's cool and attractive nature

I got that girl from overseas
Boasting about the artist's international appeal and attractiveness to people from other countries

Now she my Miss America
Comparing the listener to the ideal American beauty pageant winner and showing adoration

Now can I be her soldier please?
Asking for the opportunity to protect and cherish the listener

I'm fighting for this girl
Asserting the artist's commitment to a serious relationship with the listener

On a battlefield of love
Using a metaphor to describe the fights and struggles that can occur within a relationship

Don't it look like baby cupid sendin' arrows from above
Comparing being in love to being struck by Cupid's arrow

Don't you ever leave the side of me
Asserting the listener's importance and the artist's desire for them to stay together

Indefinitely, not probably
Promising an everlasting relationship, not a temporary one

And honestly, I'm down like the economy (yeah)
Using wordplay to connect the artist's confidence in their feelings to economic terms, showing a firm belief in their commitment to the listener

Ooh, no
Adding a musical refrain to emphasize the earlier line and to provide a sense of finality to the song
