I don't have to put on make up,
|
I don't have to do my hair.
|
An'd when I open up that Hagen Daz,
|
Well, I don't have to share.
|
An' there's no one there to notice,
|
If I gain a couple a-pounds:
|
An' that's the upside of bein' down.
|
|
Well, I've got twice the closet space,
|
That I can fill up with new shoes.
|
And I can paint the bedroom pretty pink,
|
With lacy curtains if I choose.
|
An' I won't have to deal with fishin' gear,
|
Muddy boots laying round:
|
That's the upside of being down.
|
|
Days when I'm feelin' low, yeah, I got 'em:
|
When my tears won't stop fallin' to the ground.
|
But there's only one place left to go when you're at the bottom,
|
An' that's the upside of being down.
|
|
I can let my dog jump on the bed,
|
An' curl up next to me at night.
|
An' I don't have to lose an argument,
|
'Cause now I'm always right.
|
An' I can dance with who I want to,
|
When I go out on the town:
|
An' that's the upside of being down.
|
|
Days when I'm feelin' low, yeah, I got 'em:
|
When my tears won't stop fallin' to the ground.
|
But there's only one place left to go when you're at the bottom,
|
An' that's the upside of being down.
|
|
Yeah, that's the upside of being down.
