Upside Down
Morris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you wanna
Talk about it
You know I tried to
Live without ya
But when I see you
Or think about ya
I don't wanna
Live without ya
Cuz I'm upside down
And inside out
But when you're around
My feet are on the ground
I'm upside down
And inside out
Baby come around
Cuz I need you
It seemed that fate had
Brought us together
Then split us up with
Stormy weather
Karma found us
With all our lessons
Now I'm thinking
I should listen
Cuz I'm upside down
And inside out
But when you're around
My feet are on the ground
I'm upside down
And inside out
Baby come around
Cuz I need you
I don't wanna live without you anymore
Don't wanna live my life wanting more
I don't wanna live without you anymore
Baby you're the one I've been wishing for
Cuz I'm upside down
And inside out
But when you're around
My feet are on the ground
I'm upside down
And inside out
Baby come around
Cuz I need you




Cuz I need you
I need you
