You're Picking Me Up

Ronan Keating · Other Songs - Ronan Keating

You're picking me up girl (x2)

What hell? Because of you (x2)

Your picking me up because I had such a bad day
Life throws at you crap in so many ways
Was so mad till you came my way
Ya fall down they'll walk right over you
So get up get on you gotta fight through
Fat farm skinny school we've lost the plot
And it hurts to see the truth when we see it
So lets all get smashed coz no one cares

Chorus

Your picking me up coz I had such a hard night
Why does life feel like a fist fight
And big brothers proved that were losing our soul
Its all about what you've got on you
So get up get on you got fight through
And it hurts to see the truth if we feel it
So lets all get trashed coz no one cares

Chorus

I'm gonna call my boss at midnight
Were gonna quit our jobs tonight
We wont fool ourselves no more girl
Its time to change for the right
Come on we'll party on through the night night night

Chorus

In a world of pressure were lives come last
Technology got us moving so fast
But your picking me up girl how do you do it
Thank Christ for you
I turn on CNN and see sub African genocide
I look for you and your right by my side
Your picking me up girl how do you do it
Thank Christ for you
I drove 10 thousand miles to jump off Niagara
And came back up coz your my viagra
Your picking girl how do you it thank Christ for you

Recorded during the height of his fame following his victory on The X Factor, the track captures the emotional vulnerability characteristic of Keating's ballads, focusing on themes of reassurance and connection.

It remains a staple of his discography, frequently featured in compilations that highlight his signature sound from the mid-2000s. The recording reflects a period where Keating successfully transitioned from television star to respected singer-songwriter, crafting music that resonated deeply with audiences seeking heartfelt, melodic pop.
