keep up

How'd it happen? I know it started with a strong attraction
One disappointment caused a chain reaction
And I'm so tired of asking are we okay, okay?

I, I can't keep trying, don't compromise it
'Cause the stars are lining up for once in my life
And you're on the ground when I'm climbing mountains
So don't you drag me down

If you can't keep up
Then, baby, are you down to fight enough?
And I really need someone who lifts me up
So I, am I the only one who's trying?
Ooh, if you're wanting my love, love, love, love
Ooh, then you gotta keep up, up, up, keep up
'Cause you're always breaking down and I'm fed up
And I really need someone who lifts me up
Feels like I'm the only one who's trying
Ooh, if you're wanting my love, love, love, love
Ooh, then you gotta keep up, up, up, keep up

It's so tragic
You went and lost your fire, and I'm all passion
And you're still making noise, but I hear static
But you'd love to hear me say I'm not okay, okay

I, I can't keep trying, don't compromise it
'Cause the stars are lining up for once in my life
And you're on the ground when I'm climbing mountains
So don't you drag me down

If you can't keep up
Then, baby, are you down to fight enough?
And I really need someone who lifts me up
So I, am I the only one who's trying?
Ooh, if you're wanting my love, love, love, love
Ooh, then you gotta keep up, up, up, keep up
'Cause you're always breaking down and I'm fed up
And I really need someone who lifts me up
Feels like I'm the only one who's trying
Ooh, if you're wanting my love, love, love, love
Ooh, then you gotta keep up, up, up, keep up

And I'm always chasing a rush, rush, rush, rush
And you're sitting, gathering dust, dust, dust, dust
And maybe I'm expecting too much, much, much, much
But I'm sick of saying keep up
And I'm always chasing a rush, rush, rush, rush
And you're sitting, gathering dust, dust, dust, dust
And maybe I'm expecting too much, much, much, much
But I'm sick of saying keep up
And I, I can't keep trying, I'm done compromising
So don't you drag me down

If you can't keep up
Then, baby, are you down to fight enough?
And I really need someone who lifts me up
So I, am I the only one who's trying?
Ooh, if you're wanting my love, love, love, love
Ooh, then you gotta keep up, up, up, keep up
'Cause you're always breaking down and I'm fed up
And I really need someone who lifts me up
Feels like I'm the only one who's trying
Ooh, if you're wanting my love, love, love, love
Ooh, then you gotta keep up, up, up, keep up
Ooh, if you're wanting my love, love, love, love
Ooh, then you gotta keep up
