Keep Up

How'd it happen?

I know it started with a strong attraction

One disappointment caused a chain reaction

And I'm so tired of asking are we okay, okay?

(Okay, okay)

I, I can't keep trying, don't compromise it

'Cause the stars are lining up for once in my life

And you're on the ground when I'm climbing mountains

So, don't you drag me down

If you can't keep up, then, baby, I am done

I've had enough, and I really need someone who lifts me up

So why am I the only one who's trying?

Ooh, if you're wanting my love, love, love, love

Ooh, then you gotta keep up, up, up

Keep up, 'cause you're always breaking down

And I'm fed up, and I really need someone who lifts me up

Feels like I'm the only one who's trying

Ooh, if you're wanting my love, love, love, love

Ooh, then you gotta keep up, up, up

Keep up

It's so tragic

You went and lost your fire, and I'm all passion

And you're still making noise, but I hear static

But you'd love to hear me say I'm not okay, okay

(Oh, okay, okay)

I, I can't keep trying, don't compromise it

'Cause the stars are lining up for once in my life

And you're on the ground when I'm climbing mountains

So, don't you drag me down

If you can't keep up, then, baby, I am done

I've had enough, and I really need someone who lifts me up

So why am I the only one who's trying?

Ooh, if you're wanting my love, love, love, love

Ooh, then you gotta keep up, up, up

Keep up, 'cause you're always breaking down

And I'm fed up, and I really need someone who lifts me up

Feels like I'm the only one who's trying

Ooh, if you're wanting my love, love, love, love

Ooh, then you gotta keep up, up, up

Keep up

(Here we go)

And I'm always chasing a rush, rush, rush, rush

And you're sitting, gathering dust, dust, dust, dust

And maybe I'm expecting too much, much, much, much

But I'm sick of keeping you up

And I'm always chasing a rush, rush, rush, rush

And you're sitting, gathering dust, dust, dust, dust

And maybe I'm expecting too much, much, much, much

But I'm sick of saying keep up

And I, I can't keep trying, I'm done compromising

So, don't you drag me down

If you can't keep up, then, baby, I am done

I've had enough, and I really need someone who lifts me up

So why am I the only one who's trying?

Ooh, if you're wanting my love, love, love, love

Ooh, then you gotta keep up, up, up

Keep up, 'cause you're always breaking down

And I'm fed up, and I really need someone who lifts me up

Feels like I'm the only one who's trying

Ooh, if you're wanting my love, love, love, love

Ooh, then you gotta keep up, up, up, keep up

Ooh, if you're wanting my love, love, love, love

Ooh, then you gotta keep up
