Ups & Downs
I wish I could change the minds that decided
That I shouldn’t be knighted as a modern day Prince
It only makes sense, playing every instrument
All the money I spent doing shows with the band
Everybody was saying that I
Should have kept the show money put it in my pocket
But I wanted to show you the way I really rock it
That real music, that real emotion
Them 80′s synths – that Billy Ocean
There’ll be sad songs, maybe they make you cry
Maybe they give you a reason why you should date a guy
Or maybe a reason why you should break it off
Or maybe the moment when you should take it off
Girl, girl – I’ll do it, I’ll do it
That kissing, that French
I’m fluent, I’m fluent
I got your mind open on that music, that music
Lovin’ the way you movin’ when we doin’ what we doin’ now!
Up, down, round and round
I can work your body thru all your ups & downs
I’ll show you how
We can make it last thru all our ups & downs
Yea – you don’t even know
I’ma make your body feel all those ups & downs
Good, good, baby
‘Cause ain’t no way to get around ups & downs
Late nights, no sleep
If I ain’t on my hustle then I won’t eat
Dreamin’ big, just wanna live good
Do it for the homies in my old hood
Music banging thru the windows they ain’t call the cops
Showed up at the Virgin when my album dropped
I do it for my Sister, for my Mom and Pop
I used to be homeless behind a barber shop
I wrote some sad songs, maybe they made you cry
Maybe they gave you a reason why you should date a guy
Or maybe the reason why you should break it off
Or maybe the moment when you should take it off
Girl, girl – I’ll do it, I’ll do it
That kissing, that French
I’m fluent, I’m fluent
If I don’t take you with me then I’m ruined, I’m ruined
Lovin’ the way you movin’ when we doin’ what we doin’ right!
Up, down, round and round
I can work your body thru all your ups & downs
I’ll show you how
We can make it last thru all our ups & downs
Yea – you don’t even know
I’ma make your body feel all those ups & downs
Good, good, baby
‘Cause ain’t no way to get around ups & downs
And I swear that I’ma hold you down
(I’ll do it thru the ups & downs)
And when your world is spinning round and round
(I’ll do it thru the ups & downs)
And when you feel like you’re about to drown
(I’ll do it thru the ups & downs)
I’ll do it thru the ups & downs, downs
Yeah
Up, down, round and round
I can work your body thru all your ups & downs
I’ll show you how
We can make it last thru all our ups & downs
Yea – you don’t even know
I’ma make your body feel all those ups & downs
Good, good, baby
‘Cause ain’t no way to get around ups & downs
