Up And Down Lyrics

Doing my best to stay healthy
Few of my words are obscene
Eating, working, walking, talking, sleeping
Should be my daily routine

But I've got a secret agenda
I miss you so much I'm a mess
I float away like a cloud in trousers
And land in a state of undress

I go up, I go down
I go crazy when you're not around
I go up, I go down
I go crazy when you're not around

I've been seen in some secret locations
Making the most of my charm
With a range of intoxications
Causing some serious harm

I go up, I go down
I go crazy when you're not around
I go up, I go down
I go crazy when you're not around

Down and up and down and up and down and up
and down and up and down and up...

I don't get home til the morning
I sleep all day to prepare
For another night of desperate housewives
I need someone here when you're there

I go up, I go down
I go crazy when you're not around
I go up, I go down
I go crazy when you're not around

I go up, up, up
I go down, down, down
Baby when you coming home?
I go up, up, up
I go down, down, down
Ah, you know I hate being alone!

For another night of desperate housewives
I need someone here when you're there

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
