Lyrics

Up the Creek (Acapella Intro)

I'm up the creek
I'm up the creek
Just like the one that got away
So close but yet so far
I threw my hook into the water
I nearly caught her
How bizarre
Now I'm up the creek
Though I have lost a little pride
I'm up the creek
I know that time is on my side
I'm up the creek
Thought you had pulled the plug on me
I'm up the creek
There's more than one fish in the sea I'm not about to let it be
I know that I'm up the creek
Hey hey
The foreign legions always there
I need a holiday
Daydream in the desert with no pressure
That's the way
Cause I'm up the creek
Though I have lost a little pride
I'm up the creek
I know that time is on my side
I'm up the creek
Thought you had pulled the plug on me
I'm up the creek
There's more than one fish in the sea I'm not about to let it be
I know that I'm up the creek
I'm up the creek without a paddle
I'm up the creek but that don't matter at all
Don't matter at all
I'm up the creek without a paddle
I'm up the creek I'm ready to battle it all
To battle it all
Hey hey
I'm up the creek
I'm up the creek
I'm up the creek
Here I go You wanna go?
I'm up the creek
Help me help me help me
I'm up the creek
I'm up the creek
Watch it watch it whoahhhh...
