UB40 lyrics - I'm On The Up

Thing's ain't so bad

They sure could be better

Thing's ain't so good

But I'm sure it won't last

Storm clouds above

But I got my umbrella

I would if I could

I can't change the past



[Chorus:]

I'm on the up

My futures tomorrow

Why should I worry

All I've got to find

Is another sad someone

Who'll happily give me

Just enough loving

For their peace of mind.



Things are a drag

But I'll get it together

Things make you strange

But that's how it goes,

I always say sorry

So no one remembers

I caused the pain

When I struck the first blows.



[Chorus]



Things ain't so good

But I'm not complaining

Things could be worse

I don't need to tell you

Hang out your washing

It's gonna start raining

Thunder clouds burst

So tell me whats new.



[Chorus]
