Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Overdrafted my account, but so glad it wasn't stolen
Had to fight a cat off the street like a rat
There was a man that smelled like
Took a while to get home
All this stress, on my own
Keep falling down, I'm still unhurt
Lost it all? Could've been worse
Although we go through these hard times
We'll be alright
What do we worry for?
Looking for the good
In everything
Nothing's bringing me down
Looking for the good
In everything
Nothing's bringing me down
(It won't bring me down)
Ooh (It won't bring me down)
Ooh
Looking for the good
In everything
Nothing's bringing me down
It's happiness before success
All the late nights are a test
How long can you wait?
Just be more patient
There are many ways for you to do the things you love to do,
The world will come to you, oh yeah
Although we go through these hard times
We'll be alright
What do we worry for?
Looking for the good
In everything
Nothing's bringing me down
Looking for the good
In everything
Nothing's bringing me down
(It won't bring me down)
Ooh(It won't bring me down)
Ooh
Looking for the good
In everything
Nothing's bringing me down
It won't bring me down
Keep your face to the sunshine
I know it's hard sometimes
Just stay focused you will be fine
Count your blessings count them twice
Looking for the good
In everything
Nothing's bringing me down
Looking for the good
In everything
Nothing's bringing me down
(It won't bring me down)
Ooh (It won't bring me down)
Ooh
Looking for the good
In everything
Nothing's bringing me down
It won't bring me down
Ooh (It won't bring me down)
Ooh
Looking for the good
In everything
Nothing's bringing me down
It won't bring me down
