[Verse 1]
My baby, there's something you should know
About me, before you propose
Although we have known each other for quite a while

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Whenever you need me
I'm gonna try to make it through to you
But I'm not always ready to
When you are not watching
I prepare myself for you
But I worry that I might have been misunderstood

[Chorus 1]
I gotta tell you, I wanna tell you
I can be lazy, but I'll try not to
Maybe I'm not a very honest person
Right now you're sure that you'll love me
But are you really sure that you know all about me?
Up and down and down down down down we go

[Verse 2]
My baby, a lot could happen before tomorrow
Think about the pain before you take another dose
Who knows if it could be good for you after all

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Whatever you give me
I'm gonna try to give you something new
Not something you've already chewed
When you are not watching
I prepare myself for you
Because this could be good
What's buggin' you?

[Chorus 2]
I gotta tell you, I wanna tell you
I can be crazy, but I don't want to
Maybe I'm not a very honest person
What if I don't want a baby yet?
Is it okay if I'm not cute and naïve?
Up and down and down, down, down, down we go

[Chorus 3]
This could be good
So I gotta tell you, I wanna tell you
You can be shady, whatcha goin' through?
Maybe you're not a very honest person
You say you're sure that you'll love me
How could that be when you keep so much from me?
Turn the tables 'round, 'round and 'round we go

[Interlude]

[Outro]
Right now you're sure that you'll love me
But are you really ready to know more about me?
Up and down and down, 'round and 'round and 'round
Where do we go?
