[Verse 1]
I have this human love, it's shattered once or twice
It pulls me up and down, rivers filled with jagged ice
Everyday I’m wanting something I ain’t havin’, mmhm mmhm
I have this human heart, my mother told me so
She said this shit can go to pieces, boy, be careful
But you and me, and me and you, got something magic, mmhm
So I say to you
[Chorus]
If I told you I was down, I was down would you help me?
Told you I was down, I was down would you lift me up?
I need your strength, I’ll be yours someday
If I told you I was down, I was down would you lift me up?
If I told you I was broke, I was broke would you fix me?
Told you I was down to the line would you lift me up?
I need your strength, I’ll be yours someday
If I told you I was down, I was down would you lift me up?
(Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up)
[Verse 2]
I have this human love, my mother told me so
She said this world could bring you down
So don’t be swinging low
'Cause you and me, and me and you, got something magic, mmhm
So I say to you
[Chorus]
If I told you I was down, I was down would you help me?
Told you I was down, I was down would you lift me up?
I need your strength, I’ll be yours someday
If I told you I was down, I was down would you lift me up?
(Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up)
If I told you I was down, I was down would you help me?
Told you I was down, I was down would you lift me up?
I need your strength, I’ll be yours someday
If I told you I was down, I was down would you lift me up?
(Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up)
(I have this human love, my mother told me so
I have this human love, my mother told me so)
[Outro]
(Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up)
