"On the down low" in lyrics

Girl you could've been the one Now gotta change my number twice a month When you could have simply kept me on the down low

Twitching, your dissected heart spasms, your moans are audible Just come clean, secret’s out anyway, how was it? It’s normal, so normal, are you embarrassed? Everyone just does it on the down-low

Sneaky, greedy, money seeking Always peeping, fucking creeping Got it on the down low So you think you always squeaky

Ayy, yeah Since we're creepin' on the down-low (down-low) And I know your heart is mine (yeah)

I wanna take a minute or two, and give much respect due To the man that's made a difference in my world And although most men are ho's he flows on the down low Cuz I never heard about him with another girl

Stuck in the craze, boom, now you're trapped too Stay on the down low, get back I'm that "unfair girl" you're after

But hear me out, it's just wrong You were right We'd be better off meeting on the down-low

I wanna take a minute or two, and give much respect due To the man that's made a difference in my world And although most men are ho's he flows on the down low 'Cause I never heard about him with another girl

'Cause they can never even find us, no, no We got so used to being quiet Had to keep us on the down low But what’s the point in hiding?

We can let off some steam (I'm your cheerleader) I think you're prettier on your knees Keep it on the down low, oh, oh

[Verse 1] You were the one I started falling You got me down on the down low Waiting for something

Just a paper and a pen Tape it to my window Keep it on the down low So I can find it in the end

[Chorus] And keep it on the down low (down low, babe) (Nobody) nobody has to know

I'm burying my doubts, we join hands visionaries We'll do it together on the down-low To 40,000 in the biggest room in Paris

Cry it out loud and long Our family begs us to keep it On the down low And no longer believing

You dig the dirt well deep in darkness Dare to deal on the down low Tripping for treasures, plastic pleasures

Makin' noise with the boys, up to no good C-low on the down low Cops come around so ruffneck front like he gotta go

Floating over the volcano It's just smoke Selling me out on the down low

It's only cause I need some affection, oh. So I creep, yeah, just creepin on, On the down low, cept nobody is supposed to know. So I creep yeah, 'cause he doesn't know what I do

They've always been my best of friends Out of this world like aliens, dictator, I created them Keep my secret on the down low, 'cause Leak that shit it's me to your door
