» Slippin' Up
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 still hopin’ for romance,
But when I tried to kiss her
She said, “you don’t have 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
She said “this ain’t the first time” …
Well I’ve made mistakes before
Now 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 just might drown …
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
