Lyrics

Downside Up

I never been much of a ladies' man
Always been more than a little bit shy
Still, I’ve had me a slice of that pie a time or two
And it’s always amazing for a little while
It's a tickle and a smile on a hayride
Little bit of lemonade on a sunny day
A dream come true

But nothing stays the same for long
It goes left for a little then right for a little bit
Keep it tight and keep it strong
You’ll fly right in a minute for sure

‘Cause there’s always a downside before an upside, yeah
One day high and the next day low
Then an upside follows a downside, yeah
Round and round we go

Well, I’m not so wise as you might have surmised
By my current state of being unaccompanied
Yes, I’ll concede to some degree of irony
Oh, but who knows better how to do better than I
A man who’s tried to keep love alive and failed
But now I know why, it’s so clear to me

Y’see nothing stays the same for long
It’ll zig just a little and zag just a little bit
It’s alright when things go wrong
They’ll get right in a minute for sure

‘Cause there’s always a downside before an upside, yeah
One day high and the next day low
Then an upside follows a downside, yeah
Round and round we go

Oh, hold tight, it’s bound to get bumpy
Hold on tight from here on in
Gotta hold tight to each other
And get ready to go round again
Get ready to go round again,

‘Cause there’s always a downside before an upside, yeah
One day high and the next day low
Then an upside follows a downside, yeah
Round and round we go

There’s always a downside before an upside, yeah
One day high and the next day low
Then an upside follows a downside, yeah
Round and round we go

And we go round and round and round…
