Lighten Up

[Intro]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-la, yeah
Moo-be-doo-wop, me-doo-wop, boo-boo
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Me-doo-wop, me-doo-wop, oh yeah
Better lighten up, all I'm askin' is you ease up

[Verse 1]
You make me feel like a kid
Ridin' on a circus train eatin' candy cane
Happiness can't explain
The way I feel for you, honey, now we're through
I said I'm drivin' myself insane
On dreams of yesterday, but now you're gone away
Now can't you see with your naked eye (See with your naked eye)
That life will pass you by?

[Chorus]
Lighten up (Me-doo-wop, me-doo-wop)
Ooh, baby, you got to, girl
(Lighten up, me-doo-wop, me-doo-wop)
Oh baby, yeah
(Lighten up, me-doo-wop, me-doo-wop)
Mmm, mmm, yeah, oh yeah
(Lighten up, me-doo-wop, me-doo-wop)
What I say
Better lighten up, all I'm askin' is you ease up

[Verse 2]
Traveling through a maze
At twice the speed of light, you know it can't be right (Twice the speed)
Somebody's lookin' in
And they're findin' that I'm at home, but I can't get in (I can't get in)
My heart is sure pumpin' fast (Pumpin' fast)
And with the price of fuel (Pumpin' fast), you know I can't be cool
I'm 'bout to run outta gas
Looks like first is gonna be last, yeah

[Chorus]
Lighten up (Me-doo-wop, me-doo-wop)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, baby, yeah, oh
(Lighten up, me-doo-wop, me-doo-wop)
Oh-oh, oh, my baby
(Lighten up, me-doo-wop, me-doo-wop)
Oh yeah, yeah
(Lighten up, me-doo-wop, me-doo-wop)
'Cause you just got to, you just gotta do right

[Bridge]
Yeah, gonna be, lighten up, child
Aw, baby, gotta make things right, baby
Yeah, I'm talkin' to you, gotta lighten up now
Better lighten up, baby, yeah

[Outro]
Whoo-ooh-ooh
Gonna lighten up, gonna lighten up
(Lighten up, me-doo-wop, me-doo-wop)
Get you, get you, get you, get you, get you, yeah
(Lighten up, me-doo-wop, me-doo-wop)
And walk on down the street
(Lighten up, me-doo-wop, me-doo-wop)
Mmm, my baby, mmm, I said I promise to you
(Lighten up, me-doo-wop, me-doo-wop)
Lighten it up, I swear I'd like to lighten it up
(Lighten up, me-doo-wop, me-doo-wop)
'Cause you make me feel like a sure kid on a circus train
(Lighten up, me-doo-wop, me-doo-wop)
Thinkin' about all the things I did, never gonna be the same
(Lighten up, me-doo-wop, me-doo-wop)
Well, hey
(Lighten up, me-doo-wop, me-doo-wop)
Well, hey
(Lighten up, me-doo-wop, me-doo-wop)
