Upside Down
Oppera Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wait A minute
Before you go
I had so much to say
But you walked out the door
Said don't wanna see me no more
Then I figured out why
You ain't around
'cause when I act like A clown
I got my head in the clouds
Flying upside down
But now my feet are on the ground
With my head hanging down

Don't wanna chase after you or anybody
I don't wanna make A scene so listen to me
Now I know you're seeing someone else have mercy
'cause when I look in your eyes
Oh I still see love for me
So please don't give up on me

But even now
Staring at you
Something inside of me
Saying just let it be
Screaming girl you got to be free
So forget what I said
Don't mean A thing
Oo if you can leave me so easy
I hope the woman you found
Drag your heart on the ground
And the minute you ain't around
I hope she leave you in the next town

Don't wanna chase after you or anybody
Oo I don't wanna make A scene so just listen to me oh
Now I know there's someone else out there have mercy
'cause when I look in your eyes
I don't like what I see
So please won't you please leave me

Head in the clouds
Flying upside down
I keep my head in the clouds
Flying upside down
Head in the clouds
Flying flying oh oh
Upside down
Head in the clouds




Upside down
Head in the clouds
