Up In The World Lyrics by Cliff Richard
Album : Love Songs , Dresses for the Occasion , Every Face Tells a story
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
You've come up in the world
And it's all to your credit
You made something of your life
like you always said you would
But what ever happened to
The girl I used to know
And all those halcyon days of love?

You've come up in the world
And it's such a shame
You made success of a dream
but it seems so empty now
With your weak excuses and
Your condescending ways
And all too frequent nights - alone.

(STRINGS INTERLUDE)

I've come down in the world
And it's all to your credit
You made something of my life
but you've thrown it all away
For your books and your fancy talk
Your new found friends and all
Your theories on mankind - and society.

(Lyrics/Music - Clifford T. Ward)
You've come up in the world   And it's all to your credit   You made something of your life    like you always said you would   But what ever happened to   The girl I used to know   And all those halcyon days of love?       You've come up in the world   And it's such a shame   You made success of a dream    but it seems so empty now   With your weak excuses and   Your condescending ways   And all too frequent nights - alone.      (STRINGS INTERLUDE)      I've come down in the world   And it's all to your credit   You made something of my life    but you've thrown it all away   For your books and your fancy talk   Your new found friends and all   Your theories on mankind - and society.      (Lyrics/Music - Clifford T.
