Wanna Be Up Lyrics

Wanna be up! (Don't wanna be down!),
Don't wanna see life go round this way,
I'm going as fast as I can.
1st verse
Just a kid in a backstreet alley.
Working everyday.
People stop and they look at him.
And they said he sings like Mel Torme.

He can work a full day.
He can earn a dollar.
He can hurt you with his way.
You do everything he wants to.

Did he work you overtime?
Did you want to run and hide?
Did you turn your face and cry?
Like I knew you would!

2nd verse
I have ???? under his smile.
I have loved his starring eyes.
You think that he's real cool.
I know he's a real mean dude.
Did he work you overtime?
Did you want to run and hide?
Did you turn your face and cry?
Like I knew you would!

Wanna be up! (Don't wanna be down!),
Don't wanna see life go round this way,
I'm going as fast as I can.

Wanna be up! (Don't wanna be down!),
Don't wanna see life go round this way,
I'm going as fast as I can.
Did he work you overtime?
Did you want to run and hide?
Did you turn your face and cry?
Like I knew you would!

Wanna be up! (Don't wanna be down!),
Don't wanna see life go round this way,
I'm going as fast as I can.

Wanna be up! (Don't wanna be down!),
Don't wanna see life go round this way,
I'm going as fast as I can.

Don't leave me this way.
I'm going as fast as I can. (x2)
