Lyrics

I try to look you in the eyes
I say "hello," you hear "goodbye"
You take the truth and turn it round
Leave me standing lost and found

I’m searching for the perfect line
But you twist it every time
What I meant and what you hear
Are miles apart, that’s crystal clear

You always turn my words upside down
You always turn my words upside down
You always turn my words upside down
You always turn my words upside down

I tell you things you won’t believe
You find a way to misconceive
No matter how I break it down
You always turn it back around

Every time I try to speak
You twist my meaning, make it weak
I try to make my feelings clear
and still they somehow disappear

You always turn my words upside down
You always turn my words upside down

We’re dancing round what’s left unsaid
You change the meaning in my head
It’s like a game I never win
I try to speak, but it all spins

You always turn my words upside down
You always turn my words upside down
You always turn my words upside down
You always turn my words upside down

This is fab!! I have no idea how to flip font, but you do! Perfect syncopation vocals and guitar, Wowzers.

Another hit Max. Love the ska beat. Can easily imagine flinging my legs around to this one. Insanely catchy chorus again. I was singing along at the end

Came for the #ska and I'm so happy I did. Got me boppin' in my chair. Great chorus.

Oh you did some magic there lol. You write fantastic, catchy songs!

A light hearted song about a frustrating situation.

Great tune and love the lyrics! Happens all the time for sure! Thanks for putting it in a song! Blessings! Soooo HOW in the world did you get all that text up there upside down? I didn't even know you could do that! Hahaha!
