[Intro]
Wanna be up
Don t wanna be down
Don t wanna see life go round this way
I m going as fast as I can
[Interlude]
[Verse 1]
Just a kid in a backstreet alley, working everyday
People stop and they look at him and they say he sings like Myrtle Mae
He can t work a full day, he can t earn a dollar,
he can hurt you with his ways, you do everything he wants you to
[Chorus]
Did he work you all the time?
Did you wanna run and hide?
Did you turn your face and cry? Like I knew... you... would...
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
I had fell under his smile, I had felt his staring eyes
You might think that he s real cool, I know, he s a real big dud
[Chorus]
Did he work you all the time?
Did you wanna run and hide?
Did you turn your face and cry? Like I knew... you... would...
[Bridge]
Wanna be up
Don t wanna be down
Don t wanna see life go round this way
I m going as fast as I can
Wanna be up
Don t wanna be down
Don t wanna see life go round this way
I m going as fast as I can
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Did he work you all the time?
Did you wanna run and hide?
Did you turn your face and cry? Like I knew... you... would...
[Bridge]
Wanna be up
Don t wanna be down
Don t wanna see life go round this way
I m going as fast as I can
Wanna be up
Don t wanna be down
Don t wanna see life go round this way
I m going as fast as I can
[Outro]
Don t leave me this way
I m going as fast as I can
Don t leave me this way
I m going as fast as I can
Don t leave me this way
I m going as fast as I can
