[Verse 1]
There's no way that I could even follow
Such a stale model of a man
Go ahead and bottle me up
Fallin' in and out of pity
'Cause really, nobody asked you
To question intentions and such
Rollin' a tidal wave of expression
And testin' the forces of nature
Against a heart so complacent as yours
I think about this deeper and harder than you will ever think
So don't you ever think this is yours

[Chorus]
Stop pullin' me down, you're only turnin' me up
Turnin' me up
You can't bottle me up
No, no, you can't bottle me up
'Cause when you come from the bottom
You can only go up, go up
Stop pullin' me down, you're only turnin' me up
Turnin' me up
You can't bottle me up
No, no, you can't bottle me up
'Cause when you come from the bottom
You can only go up, go up
[Verse 2]
Swear to you all, I'm better then the rest
With my left hand in the air
And my right hand on my chest
God has seen what I can do in the past
I've been handin' people their asses and teachin' classes
Livin' a tidal wave of emotion
And swimmin' in oceans of sorrow
Until tomorrow is hopeless and poor
I live with this much deeper and harder than you will ever live
So don't you ever think this is yours

[Chorus]
Stop pullin' me down, you're only turnin' me up
Turnin' me up
You can't bottle me up
No, no, you can't bottle me up
'Cause when you come from the bottom
You can only go up, go up
Stop pullin' me down, you're only turnin' me up
Turnin' me up
You can't bottle me up
No, no, you can't bottle me up
'Cause when you come from the bottom
You can only go up, go up
[Guitar Solo: B.C. Kochmit]

[Chorus]
Stop pullin' me down, you're only turnin' me up
Turnin' me up
You can't bottle me up
No, no, you can't bottle me up
'Cause when you come from the bottom
You can only go up, go up
Stop pullin' me down, you're only turnin' me up
Turnin' me up
You can't bottle me up
No, no, you can't bottle me up
'Cause when you come from the bottom
You can only go up, go up
