Straight It Up
Simon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Make a fool of me
Say we couldn't be
But I won't ever believe cause you were perfect so worth it
Take another's hand
Drag me through the sand
Tell me I'm no man and I'll deserve it
You're worth it
Don't say you love me now cause you know time is running short
Don't say you get it babe cause you've lied through your teeth before
I guess I never really knew the night till it was standing at my door
And she walked out in the rain and the wind blew her away

Give it up give it up cut your losses
You make a fool out of yourself every time boy let's be honest
Give it up give it up you won't love her
You're a fool if you think she's gonna be your little lover

Hold my aching heart
Cut me with your words
I won't ever hit you first cause we'd be perfect
So worth it
Tell me you don't care
We're broke beyond repair
But I'll always stay sincere that we'd be worth it so worth it

Nobody understands the ways that I go to war
Don't say you get it baby 'til your confidence hits the floor
I guess I never really knew the night 'til it was standing at my door
And she walked out in the rain, and the wind took her away

Give it up give it up cut your losses
You make a fool out of yourself every time boy let's be honest
Give it up give it up you won't love her
You're a fool if you think she's gonna be your little lover

Give it up give it up cut your losses
You make a fool out of yourself every time boy let's be honest




Give it up give it up you won't love her
You're a fool if you think she's gonna be your little lover
