Lyrics

Heads Up

Heads up

Heads up

Heads up

You hold me up

You hold me down

And up and down

And up and

Up and down

Heads up

Heads up

Heads up

You hold me glad you told me now

And then

Every now and then

Every then and now

Not talking 'bout a holiday

Pretend my feet are running away

Well if my feet don't touch the ground

Well hot sick fat lip

Fall before I get out of it

Heads up

Heads up

Heads up

You hold me up

You hold me down

And up and down

And up and

Up and down

Heads up

Heads up

Heads up

You hold me glad you told me now

And then

Every now and then

Every then and now

Every then and now
