I don't have to put on make up, I don't have to do my hair And when I open up that Hagen Daz, well, I don't have to share And there's no one there to notice, if I gain a couple pounds And that's the upside of being 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 And 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 And that's the upside of being down
I can let my dog jump on the bed and curl up next to me at night And I don't have to lose an argument 'cause now I'm always right And I can dance with who I want to when I go out on the town And that's the upside of being down.
