Upside Down
The BossHoss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I said upside down you're turning me
You're giving love instinctively
Round and round you're turning me

Upside down
Baby, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round

Upside down
Baby, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round

Instinctively you give to me
The love that I need
I cherish the moments with you
Respectfully I say to thee
I'm aware that you're cheating
But no one makes me feel like you do

Upside down
Baby, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round

Upside down
Baby, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round

I know you got your charm appeal
And you always play the field
I'm crazy you're all mine
As long as the sun continues to shine
There's a place in my heart for you
That's the bottom line

Upside down
Baby, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round

Upside down
Baby, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round

Instinctively you give to me
The love that I need
I cherish the moments with you
Respectfully I see to thee
I'm aware that you're cheating
When no one makes me feel like you do

Upside down
Baby, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round

Upside down
Baby, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round

I said upside down you're turning me
You're giving love instinctively
Round and round you're turning me
You're giving love instinctively

I said upside down you're turning me
You're giving love instinctively
Round and round you're turning me
You're giving love instinctively

Upside down
Baby, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round

Upside down
Baby, you turn me




Inside out
And round and round

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The BossHoss's song Upside Down tell the story of a tumultuous and complex relationship. The singer seems to be deeply in love with their partner, acknowledging their charm and appeal, but also aware of their infidelity. Despite knowing that their partner is cheating, the singer can't help but be drawn to them and the powerful love they share. The title "Upside Down" not only represents the emotional whirlwind of the relationship, but also the physical sensation of being turned upside down by their partner's love.


The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, with the repetition of the phrase "Upside down, baby, you turn me, inside out, and round and round" emphasizing the dizzying nature of the relationship. The love that the singer feels is instinctive, almost beyond their control, and even though they know that their partner is cheating, they can't resist being with them.
