Upside Down
Sign O'Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I´m upside down
(How could you do it like that)
I´m upside down
Standing in the pouring rain
I´m upside down
It’s tearing
I´m upside down
Standing in the pouring rain
I´m upside down
It´s tearing me apart that you broke my heart
You knew that I loved you
You were cheating from the start
Memories I hold back
I´m filling in the cracks
With a knife in my back
How could you do me like that
Love means nothing
Money means something
Open your ears I hear revenge coming
It´s time to book
It´s time to break
Make no mistakes
I heal the heartbreaks
I used to cry for you
Wanted to die for you
Gave up a lot for you
Gave my life for you
I sat to think my battleship sink
Sorry stank ho but your bullshit stink
You´ll never find another lovesick sucker
A real strong brother use an unfit mother
As I learn my lesson I begin to pray
That´s the way of life and now I walk this way
I´m upside down
Standing in the pouring rain
I´m upside down
It’s tearing
It’s tearing me apart
I´m upside down
Standing in the pouring rain
I´m upside down
Hold on one minute
Let´s get this straight
Like Norman Bates
These are the breaks
No time for dumb mistakes
Clap your hands if you like this beat
Get off your seat and stomp it concrete
Shaheed is the man to heal all your woes
Your ups your downs your highs and your lows
I got a lot of knife wounds like a buffoon
To beat down a lot like gorilla monsoon
It´s the long strong arm nice guy good fella
Sneaky bold head skin tougher than leather
Goin´ upside down you can´t remember your name
Things ain´t the same because of your pain
I want to be greater than Nino and Darth Vader
Push the E-Class with a hidden speed radar
New York New York I represent to the fullest
Going upside down
Like my man Bruce Willis baby
Like my man Bruce Willis baby
How could you do it like that
I´m upside down
Standing in the pouring rain
I´m upside down
It´s tearing
It´s tearing me apart
I´m upside down
Standing in the pouring rain
I´m upside down
I´m upside down
(Standing in the pouring rain)
I don´t know how
(To stop these tears of pain)
I´m upside down
(No I don´t know where to stop)
´Cause inside out
(Boy it´s tearing me apart)
You took the life from me baby
One day baby
One day baby
I’mma rise to the top
One day baby
I’mma rise to the top
One day baby
I’mma rise to the top
One day baby
I’mma rise to the top
Don’t stop
I´m upside down
Standing in the pouring rain
I´m upside down
It´s tearing
It´s tearing me apart
I´m upside down
Standing in the pouring rain
I´m upside down
I´m upside down
Standing in the pouring rain
I´m upside down
It´s tearing
It´s tearing me apart
I´m upside down
(Like my man Bruce Willis Baby)
I´m upside down
(How could you do it like that)
