Notes

This was written very quickly. Almost everything came out in neatly wrapped little sections. 1st verse. Then chorus. Then 2nd verse. I just got my ego out of the way and kept singing and strumming. Then, the bridge came down (all I need is all I got…) and I was sure I had something good.

Lyrics

Ain’t no upside livin’ on the downside
Hey Hey
There ain’t no downside in looking up

Ain’t no reason for living this way
You keep treading water
Day after day
And you stay so down-hearted
It can feel like a hurricane
Hey hey
When you don’t feel any love come to ya
Give some away
I say

Ain’t no upside livin’ on the downside
Hey Hey
There ain’t no downside in looking up
Honey
Sometimes life can beat you up
I don’t have any answers, darling
Only love

Ain’t no problem baby we can’t solve
We all hurt sometimes it ain’t nobody’s fault
You keep waiting on tomorrow
But it don’t ever come
Hey Hey
When you don’t feel any love come to ya
Gimme some
I say

Ain’t no upside livin’ on the downside
Hey Hey
Ain’t no downside in looking up
Honey
Sometimes life can beat you up
I don’t have all the answers, darling
Only

All I need is all I got
All I got is all I want
I say
All I need is all I got
All I got is all I want
I say
All I need is all I got
All I got is all I want
Honey

Sometimes life can beat you up
I don’t have all the answers, darling
Only

Ain’t no upside livin’ on the downside…
