[Verse 1:]
Oooh baby, I didn't come here to fight
Why you wanna mess with me?
Oooh, I'm always willin' to compromise
But you ain't controllin' me, no

[Pre-Chorus:]
Cause I came here to make love not war with you babe
So try to find some ways to make me feel good

[Chorus:]
Up and down, in and out, that's what love is all about
Always leaves both of us feelin' good or helpless
Up and down, in and out, love keeps movin' us around
To the beat, like a drum
I don't know if I can catch the rhythm

[Verse 2:]
Oooh, you know me better than I know myself
So why you keep teasin' me?
Mmmh, I can't seem to deal with nobody else
Cause you love me so crazy, yeah

[Pre-Chorus:]
Cause I came here to make love not war with you babe
So try to find some ways to make me feel good

[Chorus:]
Up and down, in and out, that's what love is all about
Always leaves both of us feelin' good or helpless
Up and down, in and out, love keeps movin' us around
To the beat, like a drum
I don't know if I can catch the rhythm

[Chorus:]
Up and down, in and out, that's what love is all about
Always leaves both of us feelin' good or helpless
Up and down, in and out, love keeps movin' us around
To the beat, like a drum
I don't know if I can catch the rhythm

[Bridge:]
You know I'm in a sexy mood
So why you gotta act a fool tonight
You need to change your attitude
Cause I ain't arguin' with you
You're right
You know I'm in a sexy mood
So why you gotta act a fool tonight
You need to change your attitude
Cause I ain't arguin' with you
You're right

[Chorus:]
Up and down, in and out, that's what love is all about
Always leaves both of us feelin' good or helpless
Up and down, in and out, love keeps movin' us around
To the beat, like a drum
I don't know if I can catch the rhythm

[Chorus:]
Up and down, in and out, that's what love is all about
Always leaves both of us feelin' good or helpless
Up and down, in and out, love keeps movin' us around
To the beat, like a drum
I don't know if I can catch the rhythm

Are you feelin' me
Are you feelin' me, baby
Oooh...
I'm in the mood to make sweet love, yeah
You know I'm in a sexy mood
So why you gotta act a fool tonight
Up and down, in and out
Up and down, in and out
That what love is all about
