Every Time I Get Up
Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis
There is something I just can't understand
Why do you bring me down just for being a man
I'm just trying to get my foot through the door
I get no E for effort, but one thing's for sure
[Chorus:]
Every time I get up
You keep on bringing me down, down, down
Every time I get up
You keep on bringing me down, down, down
When I take two steps ahead, you bring me back
Why are you afraid of me, and why is that
'Cause I won't let words destroy my dreams
I'm gonna keep on humping yeah
If you know what I mean
[Chorus]
You can't bring me down, I'll get up for another round
Because I'm a fighter, with a million dreams
Don't try to stop me
You can't bring me down, down, down
