| I'M GOIN' DOWN - V1 | 3:47 | THLBB / CAST / THLBP |
| I'M GOIN' DOWN - V2a take 9 | 4:54 | LM-19 / UH / GS |
| I'M GOIN' DOWN - V2b take 9 | 3:57 | BUERM / TDB / THLRR / MI |
| I'M GOIN' DOWN - V3 take 10 | 3:25 | BITUSA |
Note: Original title was "Down, Down, Down". All the above were recorded at the Power Station on May 12–13, 1982, with over ten takes on the latter date, including the album cut. V1 is often timed at 3:29, due to a circulating ultra-fast version (Castaway and This Hard Land vinyl boots). V2a, which 'Lost Masters' says was recorded November 9, 1983, was also from the 13th - November 9 may have been the date it was mixed. V2 lacks the extra guitar over the introduction and the saxophone solo. V2 is take #9.

I'm Goin' Down |
We sit in the car outside your house, I can feel the heat coming 'round
I go to put my arm around you and you give me a look like I'm way out of bounds
Well, you let out one of your bored sighs, well lately when I look into your eyes
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
We get dressed up and we go out, baby, for the night
We come home early burning, burning, burning in some fire fight
I'm sick and tired of you setting me up, yeah, setting me up just to
Knock-a, knock-a, knock-a me down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
Right now!
I pull you close now baby, but when we kiss I can feel a doubt
I remember back when we started, my kisses used to turn you inside out
I used to drive you to work in the morning, Friday night I'd drive you all around and
You used to love to drive me wild, yeah, but lately girl you get your kicks from just
Driving me down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, hey, you knock-a me, knock-a me down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, hey, you knock-a me, knock-a me down
I'm going down, down, down
Yeah, I'm going down, down, you knock-a, you knock-a me down
Hey, down, you knock-a, you knock-a me down
Hey, baby, you knock-a, you knock-a me down
Hey, hey, down, you knock-a, you knock-a me down
Hey, hey, down, you knock-a, you knock-a me
Hey, down, say na na na na na
Yeah na na
Say na na na na na
