Lyrics
SLIPPIN? UP?2004
By Mary Lou Sudkamp, BMI and Chuck Crowe, BMI
V1
I knew I was in trouble
By the cold look in her eyes
I forgot about the date we made
And played cards with the guys
And when I got to her house
I was hopin? for romance,
But when I tried to kiss her
She said, ?you don?t stand a chance!?
CHORUS
I?m slippin? up and slidin? down
She don't want me comin? around
With each step I take, I?m losing ground ?
Yeah, I?m slippin? up and slidin? down
V2
I know it ain?t the first time ?
I?ve made mistakes before
And I'm slidin' down from number one
?Cause she's been keepin? score
I never had good reasons,
But I always had good lies
But when I tried one this time
She said ?this time it?s goodbye?
CHORUS
I?m slippin? up and slidin? down
She don't want me comin? around
With each step I take, I?m losing ground ?
Yeah, I?m slippin? up and slidin? down
BRIDGE
She sure knows how to make me blue
I'm sliding down from number one ? and I feel like #2 ?
ENDING CHORUS
I?m slippin? up and slidin? down
She don't want me comin? around
With each step I take, I?m losing ground ?
If it?s sink or swim I think I drowned ?
Yeah, I?m slippin? up and slidin? down
TAG Yeah, I?m slippin? up and slidin? down
Oh, I?m slippin? up and slidin? down
