lyrics

OUTSIDE/UPSTAIRS
(G. McElwain)

I told you i was sorry.
Things went downhill from there.
You didn't want to hear it,
I said I didn't care.

I might have raised my voice,
you might have cussed and broke a plate.
I might have threatened to walk out,
you might have said you couldn't wait.

So I jumped up to hit the road
and let you reap what you'd been sowing.
I turned back for one last look
and plumb forgot where I was going.

Because...

(Your cheeks!)
Your cheeks are flushed with crimson.
(Your eyes!)
Your eyes are burning bright.
(Your jaw!) Your jaw is set,
(Your sleeves!) Your sleeves rolled up,
(Your hands!) Hands on your hips
(Your hips! Your hips!) You're quite a sight.

CHORUS
Darlin', when you get all riled up like this,
nothing compares.
Whenever you wanna take it outside,
I wanna take it upstairs.

(Your hair!)
Your hair is whipping all around
like venus riding on that big clam shell
(Clam shell! Clam shell! Clam shell!
Your chest!) Your chest! your chest is heaving and
Your lips say that you're leaving, but
your legs work their way up to me,
your left hook rings my bell.

CHORUS

I told you I was sorry,
and this time it was true.
Just goes to show what one clean shot
upside the head can do.
Well, something had to give,
i pulled you close and kissed you hard...

You kissed me back, but I still spent
the night out in the yard.

CHORUS
