Lyrics Ryan Leslie – Ups & Downs
Text:
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
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
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
