Up Periscope Lyrics
If I could have a single wish
I'd only wish
I never miss it when you'd
wake up and smile
It makes me happy
when you steal a little kiss
before you wake me up to
listen to the news for awhile
And when you're
creeping out of bed
I sneak a peek to see
just what you were wearing last night
Or what was left over
from ripping off our clothes
I checked to see the door was closed
as you were turning out the lights
Whoever said romance was over
Roll over
So I can show you
Don't you want me to be
The captain of your submarine
Up periscope
That's what I say
That's just my way
of saying that I love you
My life is like a bowl of cherries
Not so very ordinary
Overflowing with love
And I could never want for more
unless our two became a four
or maybe three
and if we practice it enough
Whoever said romance was over
Roll over
So I can show you
Don't you want me to be
The captain of your submarine
Up periscope
That's what I say
That's just my way
of saying that I love you
Now I know that life is hard
I know that love can break your heart
That's just the way that it is
Well baby that's a load of smack
Don't you know I've got your back
What's important is the way that we live
And like the way you like this song
because it makes you hum along
and tap your foot to the beat
Well that's the way
you make me feel
when we're doing it for real
I can feel it from my head to my feet
Whoever said romance was over
Roll over
So I can give you
one more chance to believe
and hopefully see
that I still want you
Don't you want me to be
The captain of your submarine
Up periscope
That's what I say
That's just my way
of saying that I love you
I love you
I'd only wish
I never miss it when you'd
wake up and smile
when you steal a little kiss
before you wake me up to
listen to the news for awhile
creeping out of bed
I sneak a peek to see
just what you were wearing last night
from ripping off our clothes
I checked to see the door was closed
as you were turning out the lights
Roll over
So I can show you
Don't you want me to be
The captain of your submarine
Up periscope
That's what I say
That's just my way
of saying that I love you
Not so very ordinary
Overflowing with love
unless our two became a four
or maybe three
and if we practice it enough
Roll over
So I can show you
Don't you want me to be
The captain of your submarine
Up periscope
That's what I say
That's just my way
of saying that I love you
I know that love can break your heart
That's just the way that it is
Don't you know I've got your back
What's important is the way that we live
because it makes you hum along
and tap your foot to the beat
you make me feel
when we're doing it for real
I can feel it from my head to my feet
Roll over
So I can give you
one more chance to believe

that I still want you
Don't you want me to be
The captain of your submarine
Up periscope
That's what I say
That's just my way
of saying that I love you
I love you

@bonjou: He's 20 years old. Why is it wrong for a 20 year old to write about sex? And I don't think you got the right message.
It's about love, and putting love and romance into sex, and how a lot of people have sex without loving their partner.
Great song. Nice to see Drake writing about more mature things.
Whew! I need to be doused in cold water everytime I hear this song! This song is definitely sexy!
This song is the best thing to happen to music since MC Hammer's "2 Legit 2 Quit".
get over it kids. hes twenty. he was eighteen in drake and josh, even. hes never been a kid when you knew of him. sorry.
Love, love, love, love, love, love...
This song is so amazing. I'm just confused about one line. Maybe someone could help me out?
'And I could never want for more unless our two became a four or maybe three and if we practice it enough'
What does that mean in the context of the song? I knoew the 'two' part is about the couple, but what is he talking about exactly?
Love this song! :) And love Drake. He's an amazing artist.
^^^^ Maybe it's about having a threesome/foursome???? lol just a guess.
i really like this song and all of drakes music. ok so i do like jesse mccartney who was probably thrown into music but drake actually has the writting talent and he plays the guitar and he actually sounds good live thats what makes him a good artist.
@SweetIntoxication: He's talking about starting a family - having children.
he can be the captain of MY submarine ;D
this song is quite dirty, especially because he refers to having a three-some when he says "And I could never want for more unless our two became a four or maybe three and if we practice it enough".
if any other person sang this song, i might be a little pissed, but since i am 100% in love with drake bell, i'll let this one slip. and i agree tetsco, he can be the captain of my submarine any day.
