Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you wanna talk to me, yeah
Know that I am plain to see, yeah, yeah
Hey, hey
I don't want this fame to be
Staining my reality, yeah
Yeah
[Chorus]
Don't lift me up
To tear me down
I just want a lover
Babe, let's stay with me on the ground
Drop with me
Let me go
Got to keep it low
Drop with me
Let me go
Got to keep it low
[Chorus]
Don't lift me up
To tear me down
I just want a lover
Babe, let's stay with me on the ground
Drop with me
Let me go
Got to keep it low
Drop with me
Let me go
Got to keep it low, ooh
[Verse 2]
If you bought the fantasy
It's murder in the first degree, yeah
Hey, hey
Is my sexuality
Creating such a tragedy, yeah
Yeah
[Chorus]
Don't lift me up
To tear me down
I just want a lover
Babe, let's stay with me on the ground
Drop with me
Let me go
Got to keep it low
Drop with me
Let me go
Got to keep it low
[Chorus]
Don't lift me up
To tear me down
I just want a lover
Babe, let's stay with me on the ground
Drop with me
Let me go
Got to keep it low
Drop with me
Let me go
Got to keep it low, ooh
[Verse 3]
I'm so tired of playing this crazy game
Someone's always left out in the rain
Is there a chance that we can make it? Uh
Just keep it real 'cause we can't fake it, yeah
Ooh
'Cause you and I can't take this anymore
We've got to keep our feet right on the floor
There's no more secrets, no more lyin', yeah
Baby, I'm really, really tryin'
To get to love
[Chorus]
Don't lift me up
To tear me down
I just want a lover
Babe, let's stay with me on the ground
Drop with me
Let me go
Got to keep it low
Drop with me
Let me go
Got to keep it low
[Chorus]
Don't lift me up
To tear me down
I just want a lover
Babe, let's stay with me on the ground
Drop with me
Let me go
Got to keep it low
Drop with me
Let me go
Got to keep it low
[Refrain]
Don't lift me up
Don't lift me up
Oh no, don't lift me up
To tear me down
Don't tear me down
I just want a lover
Ooh
Babe, let's stay with me on the ground
[Refrain]
Drop with me
Let me go
Got to keep it low
Drop with me
Let me go
Got to keep it low
[Refrain]
Don't lift me up
Don't lift me up
Don't lift me up
To tear me down
Oh no, don't lift me up
I just want a lover
I just want a lover
Babe, let's stay with me on the ground
Ooh
[Refrain]
Drop with me
Let me go
Got to keep it low
Drop with me
Let me go
Got to keep it low
[Refrain]
Don't lift me up
