Lowdown Lyrics

[Verse 1: Peter Cetera]
Oh my
Life has passed me by
The country I was brought up in
Fell apart and died
Oh no, ooh
Love's no longer there
Cold wind blew away the sun
That used to warm the air

[Chorus: Peter Cetera]
Lowdown, ooh
Feelin' pretty bad
Feelin' like I lost the best friend
That I ever had
Lowdown
I got to find a way
Got to make the people see
The way I feel today

[Interlude: All]
Hey hey yeah
Hey hey yeah yeah yeah hey hey hey

Oh yeah
Woo!
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Peter Cetera]
Yeah yeah
Oh no
Love's no longer there
Cold wind blew away the sun
That used to warm the air

[Chorus: Peter Cetera]
Lowdown, ooh
Feelin' pretty bad
Feelin' like I lost the best friend
That I ever had
Lowdown, oh
I got to find a way
Got to make the people see
The way I feel today

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
