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 keeps me on the action And that's what's so surprising Nobody has to know 'Cause I can keep it here, it hardly shows Underneath my crown It keeps me up on the lowdown Up on the lowdown.
