Lyrics
Let's Take It Upstairs
Verse:
When we first met, it was love at first sight
Before we knew it, you were spending the night
Now, with kids in the house, and workin' all day
We put ourselves off until it gets too late
Lift:
You know this ain't just right
We've got to do more than just pass in the night
Chorus:
Do you still love me
Been a long time since I seen it
Let's take it upstairs
and act like we mean it
Verse:
The older we get the more time slips away
Now I'm wishin' for twenty six hours a day
And, instead of gettin' saddled with more to do
I'd spend thirteen and fourteen o'clock with you
Lift:
I know it's rough
But sayin' the words ain't always enough
CHORUS
Bridge:
I need more time with you
And less time in between it
Let's take it upstairs
and, act like we mean it
Nothin' about growin' up
says you have to fall out of love
Got to get out of that rut
to remember what love is made of
Instrumental
Lift:
Why don't we stay up late
and schedule a grownup play date
CHORUS
Outro:
I need more time with you
And less time in between it
Let's take it upstairs
and act like we mean it
Let's take it upstairs
and act like we mean it
Wooh,
Let's take it upstairs
and act like we mean it
