Upside Down

A*Teens

My grades are down from A's to D's
I'm way behind in history
I lost myself in fantasies
Of you and me together

I don't know why - I - I but dreaming's all I do
I won't get by-I-I on mere imagination

Upside down
Bouncing off the ceiling
Inside out
Stranger to this feeling
Got no clue what I should do
But I'll go crazy if I can't get next to you

My teacher says to concentrate
So what- his name was Peter the Great
The kings and queens will have to wait
Cuz I don't have forever

I wish that I - I - I could walk right up to you
Each time I try- I-I the same old hesitation

Upside down
Bouncing off the ceiling
Inside out
Stranger to this feeling
Got no clue what I should do
But I'll go crazy if I can't get next to you

Somehow someday
You will love me too
One day will be the day when all my dreams come true

    Perfect song for A*teens' targeted demographic. I didn't understand why it wasn't accepted by mainstream stations.. it's a great song, period! Teens and children all have these feelings and A*teens captured it perfectly!

    this song is about all the feelings that go through your head the first time you really have a crush on someone. for people who have already gone through that and grown up, it's kind of hilarious. because no, you won't go crazy if you can't get with that cute boy who you can't stop thinking about. and he probably won't love you too one day, and even if he does, what are the chances that this will make all your dreams come true? but everyone's felt this way before so we can appreciate the song even when we're older than the preteen target audience.

    Ahhh....I know the feeling. You should be doing your schoolwork, it's important, especially if you're a good student....but that boy is interfering with algebra. All you can think is Him Plus Me Equals Paradise....lol, great song, captures it perfectly.

    omg! I LOVE THE A*TEENS! Their girly pop is the best kind of music ever! I mean, they don't even play instruments! How cool is that? (NOT)

    This song is possibly the most teenybopperish thing ever. I think it deserves a record for that.
