The Only Way Is Up
Yazz and The Plastic Popul Lyrics

We've been broken down
We have faced a lot of hardships and have been beaten down by life

To the lowest turn
We have hit rock bottom and there is no further down to go

Bein' on the bottom line
Life at the lowest point is not enjoyable

Sure ain't no fun
It's not easy to deal with tough times

But if we should be evicted
In the event we lose our homes

Huh, from our homes
Being forced to leave our homes

We'll just move somewhere else
We will find a new place to live and start over

And still carry on
We won't let our struggles hold us down, we'll keep going

The only way is up, baby
The best direction to go in is up, towards improvement and success

For you and me now
Together, we can overcome our difficulties and reach our goals

Now we may not know, huh
We might not be certain about the future

Where our next meal is coming from
We might not have a clear idea about where our next source of food will come from

But with you by my side
As long as we have each other

I'll face what is to come
I will have the strength to deal with whatever comes our way

Boy I want to thank you
I am grateful for your love and support

Yeah, for loving me this way
Thank you for loving me through the hard times

Things may be a little hard now
Our current situation might be challenging

But we'll find a brighter day
We'll find a better tomorrow

Talk about the only way is up, baby
Let's discuss the fact that we need to focus on improving and moving forward

Talk about the only way
Let's discuss how there's no other direction to go but up

Talk about the only way is up, baby
Let's continue to focus on the fact that our goal is to improve our situation

(Hold on) hold on
Stay strong and don't give up

Ooh, aah, baby
Expressing encouragement and support

Won't be long
We won't have to struggle for much longer

Hey
An expression of excitement and triumph

No no no
An expression of determination to not give up or be discouraged
