Can’t Keep Up - The Lyrics
Vs.1.
You ain’t doing me no favours
By keeping me outta the loop
Everytime you gotta bad day
Looks like I’mma have to pay
Baby tell me something new
I gave you yuh walking papers
But it’s all like déjà vu
Everytime I put you out then you come crawling in
But baby tell me what’s the use?
Pre-Chorus .1.
What’s the reason?
I think you like to drive me mad
Let’s call it even
Coz I had about all I can take
And my heart always aches
I can feel the earth quake
When you do the things you do
So gimme a break
Coz a playa don’t make
Inna game I always lose
Chorus .1.
Coz I can’t keep up
I tried, tried
Can’t keep up with you
Everytime I think I understand
Then you throw me another clue
And I can’t keep up
I tried, tried
Can’t keep up with you
Coz you make me feel
All like a fool and I don’t know what to do
Vs.2.
Maybe I shouldn’t waste my time complaining
I’m too tired to make right what’s wrong
Lewwe finish up de race or give a little space
‘Stead o’ singing lyrics to the same ol’ love songs
Giving it some thought and consideration
While chilling listening to the radio station
While I check fuh we
Den who gon’ check fuh me
It’s time fuh dis to cease
So I’mma make a ease now
Pre-Chorus .2.
What’s the reason?
I think you like to drive me mad
Let’s call it even
Coz I had about all I can take
And my heart always aches
I can feel the earth quake
When you do the things you do
So gimme a break
Coz a playa don’t make
Inna game I always lose
Chorus .2.
Coz I can’t keep up
I tried, tried
Can’t keep up with you
Everytime I think I understand
Then you throw me another clue
And I can’t keep up
I tried, tried
Can’t keep up with you
Coz you make me feel
All like a fool and I don’t know what to do
Bridge
It’s a waste of time
Adding fuel to the fyah
Coz I’m feeling fine
And I don’t desire
All the quarrelling and arguin’
All the fussing and fighting
Coz instead of uniting
We be wronging and righting
It was a dream come true
Now it’s outta the dark and into the blue
Chorus .3.
Coz I can’t keep up
I tried, tried
Can’t keep up with you
Everytime I think I understand
Then you throw me another clue
And I can’t keep up
I tried, tried
Can’t keep up with you
Coz you make me feel
All like a fool and I don’t know what to do
Chorus .4.
Coz I can’t keep up
I tried, tried
Can’t keep up with you
Everytime I think I understand
Then you throw me another clue
And I can’t keep up
I tried, tried
Can’t keep up with you
Coz you make me feel
All like a fool and I don’t know what to do
