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 a-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 fishing gear   Muddy boots laying round   That's the upside of being down       Days when I'm feeling low, yeah, I got em   When my tears won't stop falling 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       Days when I'm feeling low, yeah, I got em   When my tears won't stop falling 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       Yeah, that's the upside of being down
