Don't Look Down
Girl Thing Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't look down
'Cause love will take us higher
Baby, you turn my world around

We're flying now so don't look down

Well, the story begins, he's on needles and pins
You see, the girl gave him a fright
Blew up like dynamite (boom)
A partner broken his heart
Trashed him right from the start
So he's pushin' his relationship apart, so she says
What's your problem, look in my direction
Give you quality, good love, and affection
Make you mine, give me time
Let's get it on, here goes (here we go)
So he opens his eyes and like I kinda devised
He's realizing that she could be the one (woo-hoo)
So this fatal attraction caused a mighty reaction
And I guess the only way to go is up (check it out now)
Love is a crazy thing
It can make you lose your mind
But that won't happen this time
If you leave your past behind, so baby

Don't look down
'Cause love will take us higher
Want you to be closer to me
For every day until forever
Say you will
'Cause you are my desire
Baby, you turn my world around
We're flying now so don't look down

Uh, uh, come on now
Uh, uh, here we go

So now he wants to get a little romance
But if he's gonna get it
Then he's gotta take a chance (uh-huh)
It's plain to see, she's got the key
Like when Harry met Sally
It was meant to be, so she said
Now I got ya, I knew I had to have ya
Sky's the limit, higher and higher
Move on up, never stop
Don't look down, let's go (here we go)
So together they'll be like fish to the sea
Never separated or be apart (no way)
And now they sleep with a smile
Never wake in denial
Yeah, they know they're never gonna look down (check it out now)
Love is a precious thing
Gotta take it when you can
There's nothing that you cannot do
When love is close at hand, so baby

Don't look down
'Cause love will take us higher
Want you to be closer to me
For every day until forever
Say you will
'Cause you are my desire
Baby, you turn my world around
We're flying now so don't look down

Let's take it to the bridge
(What bridge) This bridge

Hey, hey, so come on now
Hey, hey, here we go
Hey, hey, so come on now
Hey, hey, here we go

Love is a crazy thing
It can make you lose your mind
But that won't happen this time
If you leave your past behind, so baby

Don't look down
Want you to be closer to me
For every day until forever
Say you will
'Cause you are my desire
Baby, you turn my world around
We're flying now so don't look down

Don't look down
'Cause love will take us higher
Want you to be closer to me
For every day until forever
Say you will
'Cause you are my desire
Baby, you turn my world around
We're flying now so don't look down

Don't look down
'Cause love will take us higher
Want you to be closer to me
For every day until forever
Say you will
'Cause you are my desire




Baby, you turn my world around
We're flying now so don't look down
