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.
