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
