I believe this comes under the 'misheard song lyrics' category. Apparently, the actual lyric is "Don't bring me down ... Gross!"

At least, that what it says here:

You got me runnin' goin' out of my mind,

Don't bring me down.

You wanna stay out with your fancy friends.
I'm tellin' you it's go to be the end,
Don't bring me down,no no no no no no no no,
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down.

What happend to the girl I used to known,
You let your mind out somewhere down the road,
Don't bring me down,no no no no no,
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down.
You're always talkin' 'bout your crazy nights,
One of these days you're gonna get it right.
Don't bring me down,no no no no no,
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down.

You're lookin' good just like a snake in the grass,
One of these days you're gonna break your glass.

Don't bring me down.

You got me shakin' got me runnin' away
You get me crawlin' up to you everyday,
Don't bring me down,no no no no no,
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down.

Bruce was the robotic shark on the jaws movie. After the movie hit the box office everybody was freaking out and not wanting to go in the water. SO ELO came up with the song to let everybody know it's OK go swim have a good time your not going to die
