Ooops Up
Snap Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, b-b-baby, say op-ah-la
Say op-ah-la

Say baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, b-b-baby, say op-ah-la
Say op-ah-la
Hey, I wanna tell ya, babe, ahaha
Heyeyeyeyey, oooh, oho, everybody say op-ah-la
Heyey, somebody say op-ah-la
Here's what I want you to do

Just put your hands in the air
And wave 'em like you just don't care
Well, if you really like me to rock real free
Somebody say oh yeah, somebody say yeah

Somebody say yeah

Oh ah, say oops upside your head, say oops upside your head
Everybody say op-ah-la (say oops up, say oops up), hey yeaheah
Say oops upside your head, say oops upside your head
Somebody say op-ah-la (say oops up, say oops up)

This is a song about those bad days
Start out happy and end up sad days
Talkin' about that Murphy's law
Chill if it can go wrong, yes, it will

Went to the store to cop some groceries
Friday night and I had the munchies
Filled the car 'till it couldn't take it
One more bag of chips would break it

Went to the checkout, stood in line
Behind me was a girl who was too fine
I got in the end while they rang the total
Reached for my wallet, uh-oh, a bolo

Not my day, I felt like a dummy
Went to the store and forgot the money (ah)

Oh ah, say oops upside your head, say oops upside your head
Everybody say op-ah-la, hey, yeaheah
Say oops upside your head, say oops upside your head
Somebody say op-ah-la

Everybody say oops upside your head, say oops upside your head say op-ah-la
Everybody say op-ah-la (say oops up, say oops up)
Everybody say op-ah-la (say oops up, say oops up)

Me and Amy under the covers
Seeing high hot potential lovers
Demon in the sack is her reputation
If school is sex, she's the graduation

Touching, holding, heavy breathing
I knew I'd get her, she's mad about teasing
Left on the light so I could see reaction
Amy's a freak, guaranteed satisfaction

She's as soft as a bubble bath
I'm as hard as Chinese math
Ready for the ultimate affection
Took out the packet, got my protection

Rolled it up in one hard stroke
It was my last thing, yes, it broke (ah)

Everybody say oops upside your head, say oops upside your head
Somebody say op-ah-la, doo doo-doo doo-doo doo ooh
Say oops upside your head, oops upside your head
Somebody say op-ah-la

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey
Along came a spider, sat down beside her

Said what's in the bowl, bitch
Hey, yeah, yeah, what's in the bowl, bitch
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah, what's in the bowl, bitch?
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah, what's in the bowl, bitch?

Hey, I need a break

It's like a day
When nothing seems to go your way
But you stick it out anyway
'Cause you're a champ

I don't know what I'm gonna do, gonna do
I don't know-a, I don't know-a, I don't know-a
I don't know what I'm gonna do, do
Ahaha, ahaha, ah

Say oops upside your head, say oops upside your head, come on
Say oops upside your head, say oops upside your head

Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say yeah

Say baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, b-b-baby, say op-ah-la
Say op-ah-la

Say baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, b-b-baby, say op-ah-la
Say op-ah-la

Everybody say oops upside your head, say oops upside your head
Somebody say op-ah-la, doo doo-doo doo-doo doo ooh
Say oops upside your head, oops upside your head
Somebody say op-ah-la (say oops up)

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey
Along came a spider, sat down beside her

Said what's in the bowl, bitch




Hey, yeah, yeah, what's in the bowl, bitch?
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah, what's in the bowl, bitch?

Pois é, hoje musicas são feitas sem nenhum amor, sem nenhuma inteligência, e tudo feito as presas em busca do dinheiro, o mundo musical só afunda cada vez mais, sorte a nossa em conhecer essas musicas mais antigas.
