Up On The Lowdown

When I think that I know nothing, it's all feelings

My friends keep me down to ground, they peel me off the ceiling

And that's what's so surprising

They used to seem so shy

But I only know 'cause so am I

It keeps me hanging around

It keeps me up on the lowdown

Up on the lowdown

'Cause I been closer listening, I can hear you

All that stuff that I'd been missing, it warms me now I'm near you

And that's what's so surprising

You used to seem so cold

But I only know what I been told

I hear it down in town

It keeps me up on the lowdown

Up on the lowdown

I might try to scream and cry just to test you

Then something makes me listen in, it rushes to my rescue

And that's what's so surprising

It all seems so well-timed

That it won't shake any more suspicious minds

But I just like the sound

It keeps me up on the lowdown

Up on the lowdown

And this simple secret is the key to my attraction

Makes me feel like such a king, it gets me all the action

And that's what's so surprising

Nobody has to know

'Cause I can keep it hid, it hardly shows

Underneath my crown

It keeps me up on the lowdown

Up on the lowdown
