You Bring Me Up
K-Ci & Jojo · Love Always
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (repeat)
Yo, JoJo
Isn't it funny
The things you said and done to me
You said you want me
But now lady I wanna be free
You lied to me
You said you never would play me
But I found out that you were lying
All the time
1 - You pick me up
And you bring me down
When I thought I found in you solid ground
You turn my smile
Into a frown
Girl you promised that you'd never let me down
And now you're not around
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (repeat)
JoJo help me
Eweee, yeah yeah
Can I get a witness
I could go on and talk a little 'bout me
Listen, yeah
When I was up
Girl you brought me down
Played me like a clown
Thought I'd stay around
So you could, you could abuse me
Take my heart and use me
And you see I'm still around
For your talk and for your smile
Repeat 1
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (repeat)
Help me say oh
Say it say it say it yeah, say oh
There is something I have to say
Something I can't delay
You hurt me so bad
And you made me feel so sad
It's a feeling I can't explain
I won't let you wreck my brain
You said you'd never hurt me
But then you go and desert me, baby
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (repeat)
Repeat 1
Ad lib until fade
