We've been broken down
To the lowest turn
Bein' on the bottom line
Sure ain't no fun
But if we should be evicted
Huh, from our homes
We'll just move somewhere else
And still carry on
Oh
(hold on) hold on
(hold on) hold on
Ooooh, aah, baby
(hold on) hold on
(hold on) ooh oooh aah
(Chorus)
The only way is up, baby
For you and me now
The only way is up, baby
For you and me now
Aaaaah...
Now we may not know, huh
Where our next meal is coming from
But with you by my side
I'll face what is to come
Aaah
Boy I want to thank you
Yeah, for loving me this way
Things may be a little hard now
But we'll find a brighter day
Oh yeah
(hold on) hold on
(hold on) hold on
Ooooh, oooh ooh
(hold on) hold on
(hold on) won't be long
Oh yeah
The only way is up, baby
For you and me now
The only way is up, baby
For you and me now
Oooo ooh ooooooooh....
(spoken)
Talk about the only way is up, baby
Talk about the only way
Talk about the only way is up, baby
Talk about the only way
Talk about the only way is up, baby
(hold on) hold on
(hold on) hold on
Hey
(hold on) hold on
(hold on) won't be long
No no no
The only way is up, baby
For you and me now
The only way is up, baby
For you and me now
The only way is up, baby
For you and me now
The only way is up, baby
For you and me now....
