Don't Look Down
Jennifer Hudson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know that thing, that love thing
Make me wanna say
"Ooh, look down"

It breaks my heart up every time
Then I think about what you told me that night
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
No way I can escape what's in my mind

Oh, that's the way love goes
Love it takes you up, it takes you down, got you going all around.
Oh, that's the way our love goes
Open up your mind now don't be blind, I know baby you will find

[Chorus]
There is no limit to how,
How we can go, if we don't look down
Don't live in the limits,
Let's go higher and higher
Don't look down

Broken hearts and broken dreams
Baby nothing's broken, as it seems
Gotta find a way to let it flow (oh oh)
I know that there's a higher place to go

Oh that's the way love goes
Baby if it's real, then here's the biz, gotta accept it how it is
Oh, that's the way our love goes
Open up your mind now don't be blind, I know baby you will find

[Chorus]

Ooh, see we cannot let go
And there's no looking down
When you walk on the side road
Gotta keep your eyes on the highest tracks of love
You don't have to worry
Don't you worry bout a thing
Just keep your eyes above
One, two, three sing

There is no limit to how,
How we can go, if we don't look down
Don't live in the limits
Let's go higher and higher
Don't look down

There is no limit to how
How we can go, if we don't look down
Don't live in the limits




Let's go higher and higher
I'm telling you don't look down
