Lyrics
Can't Keep Up ©2023 Creative InRoads, LLC
Ooh - party, party
That's all I ever hear you say
But, you know damn well I'm a working man
And, I just put in a twelve hour day
Ooh - party, party
You never wanna stay home at night
Seven nights a week you got to burn up the town
And, you're never back before the daylight
I don't know / What am I going to do
I don't know / I can't keep up with you
I don't know / When will you ever settle down
Sleep all day / Up all night
Look at the life you're leading
You move too fast / I can't keep up
You're leaving me too far behind
Sleep all day / Up all night
Baby my poor hearts bleeding
You move too fast / I can't keep up
You're leaving me too far behind
Ooh - party, party
Sometimes I'm greeted by a note on the door
Dinner's in the icebox / Don't wait up for me
Makes me wonder if you live here anymore
I don't know / What am I going to do
I don't know / I can't keep up with you
I don't know / When will you ever settle down
Sleep all day / Up all night
Look at the life you're leading
You move too fast / I can't keep up
You're leaving me too far behind
Sleep all day / Up all night
Baby my poor hearts bleeding
You move too fast / I can't keep up
You're leaving me too far behind
- Sleep all day -
- Up all night -
Look at the life you're leading
- Sleep all day -
- Up all night -
Baby my poor hearts bleeding
- Sleep all day -
- Up all night -
Ooh Baby / I can't keep up
