She Keeps Me Up Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's got me nervous
Talkin' a hundred miles an hour
She's more than worth it
I swear she smells just like a flower
I'd fall to pieces if I went anywhere without her
I love when she says, "What's wrong with right here on the counter?"

[Pre-Chorus]
Funky little monkey, she's a twisted trickster
Everybody wants to be the sister's mister
Coca-Cola rollercoaster
Love her even though I'm not supposed to
Funky little monkey, she's a twisted trickster
Everybody wants to be the sister's mister
Coca-Cola rollercoaster
Love her even though I'm not supposed to

[Chorus]
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
All night (All night)
All night (All night)
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
All night (All night)
All night (All night)

[Verse 2]
I need her so bad
Sometimes I think that I can taste it
This evil romance
So good I never wanna waste it (Yeah)
I can't trust my friends
'Cause she's what everybody chases
And I know where she's been
'Cause it's on everybody's faces
Come on

[Pre-Chorus]
Funky little monkey, she's a twisted trickster
Everybody wants to be the sister's mister
Coca-Cola rollercoaster
Love her even though I'm not supposed to
Funky little monkey, she's a twisted trickster
Everybody wants to be the sister's mister
Coca-Cola rollercoaster
Love her even though I'm not supposed to

[Chorus]
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
All night (All night)
All night (All night)
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
All night (All night)
All night (All night)

[Bridge]
I never wanna have to slow down
Gotta be a better way to come down
I've gotta stay awake somehow
I never wanna have to slow down
Gotta be a better way to come down
I've gotta stay awake somehow

[Pre-Chorus]
Funky little monkey, she's a twisted trickster
Everybody wants to be the sister's mister
Coca-Cola rollercoaster
Love her even though I'm not supposed to
Funky little monkey, she's a twisted trickster
Everybody wants to be the sister's mister
Coca-Cola rollercoaster
Love her even though I'm not supposed to

[Chorus]
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
All night (All night)
All night (All night)
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
All night (All night)
All night (All night)

In an interview with Mike Kroeger (bassist of Nickelback), he noted the misconception that many people assume the lyrics are sexual innuendo, but he freely states that the song is about cocaine use.

The song represents a change of pace for Nickelback:

“Up ‘til now we’ve always just tried to be heavier with the rock songs and more melodic with the melodic songs, and now it’s, 'OK, not everything has to be left and right. Why can’t we go forward and back a little bit?’” Chad Kroeger (lead singer of Nickelback) explained to Billboard magazine. “So we tried to get a little funky.”
