"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
Ayy, yeah
Since we're creepin' on the down-low (down-low)
And I know your heart is mine (yeah)
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
Melanie Martinez - The Principal
Sneaky, greedy, money seeking
Always peeping, fucking creeping
Got it on the down low
So you think you always squeaky
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
Cinderella (OST) [2021] - Whatta Man / Seven Nation Army
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
But hear me out, it's just wrong
You were right
We'd be better off meeting on the down-low
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
Alaina Castillo - valentine's day
'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?
Cry it out loud and long
Our family begs us to keep it
On the down low
And no longer believing
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
[Outro]
Keep it on the down low
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
[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
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
Culture Beat - Crying in the Rain
You dig the dirt well deep in darkness
Dare to deal on the down low
Tripping for treasures, plastic pleasures
I'm never gonna let you down,
Oh I'll never let you down,
We'll keep it on the down low
And I'll keep you around so I'll know,
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
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
