Is it:
Don't bring me down... GROOOS
or
Don't bring me down... BRUCE
or something else?
*confused*

A common mondegreen in the song is the perception that, following the title line, Jeff Lynne shouts "Bruce!" . However, according to liner notes, he is actually saying a made-up word "Groos". This is similar to a German word for "greeting", Gruß. However, after the songs release, so many people had misinterpreted the word as Bruce that the band actually changed the lyrics and began to sing the word as Bruce.

I think, the correct lyrics is "Dont bring me down... Grrosss" .

Lyrics for: Don't Bring Me Down
You got me running going out of my mind
You got me thinking that I'm wasting my time
Chorus:
Don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no, ooh ooh
I'll tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
You want to stay out with your fancy friends
I'm telling you it's gotta be the end
Chorus
Don't bring me down, grus (3x)
Don't bring me down
What happened to the girl I used to know
You let your mind out somewhere down the road
Chorus
You're always talkin' 'bout your crazy nights
One of these days you're gonna get it right
Chorus
Don't bring me down, grus (3x)
Don't bring me down
You're looking good just like a snake in the grass
One of these days you're gonna break your glass
Don't bring me down
No no, no no, no no, no no, no, ooh ooh
I'll tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
You got me shaking, got me running away
You got me crawling up to you every day
Chorus
Down, down, down, down, down
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

To all those who put their hands up to Groos - you are absolutely correct!

According to ulitmate guitar.com it's "grooosss"
but that doesn't make it automatically correct.
I always thought it was "Bruce", so what do I know?
Some help I am, eh?
