Up the Creek Lyrics
Watch it!
Just like the one that got away
So close and yet so far
I threw my hook into the water
I nearly caught her
How bizzare, now
[I'm up the creek]
Though I have lost a little ground
[I'm up the creek]
I know that time is on my side
[I'm up the creek]
Though you have pulled the plug on me
[I'm up the creek]
There's more than one fish in the sea
I'm not about to let it be
I know that I'm up the creek
Hey, hey
The foreign legions always there. I need a holiday
Daydream in the desert, with no pressure, that's the way, cause
[I'm up the creek]
Though I have lost a little ground
[I'm up the creek]
I know that time is on my side
[I'm up the creek]
Though you have pulled the plug on me
[I'm up the creek]
There more than one fish in the sea
I'm not about to let it be
I know that I'm up the creek
[I'm up the creek]
Without a paddle
[I'm up the creek]
But that don't matter at all
[No matter at all]
No matter at all
[No matter at all]
[I'm up the creek]
Without a paddle
[I'm up the creek]
I'm ready to battle it all
[Don't battle it all]
[Don't battle it all]
Battle it all
[Don't battle it all]
Oh
Hey, hey
Iiiiiiiiiiii'm up the creek
Iiiiiiiiiiii'm up the creek
[Iiiiiiiiiiii'm up the creek]
Here I go! You want to go?
[Iiiiiiiiiiii'm up the creek]
Help me! Help me! Help me!
[Iiiiiiiiiiii I'm up the creek]
[Iiiiiiiiiiii'm up the creek]
Watch it! Wow!
[Iiiiiiiiiiii'm up the creek]
[Iiiiiiiiiiii'm up the creek]

O: What about “Up The Creek”?
Now that was a bad song! I co-wrote that… No, wai...
