I've been up and I've been down
But I got my feet on the ground
I've been in and I've been out
But I got nothing to pout about
I've been up and I've been down
But I got my feet on the ground
I've been in and I've been out
But I got nothing to pout about
No sense in being mad at the world
For the hand that it had played me
When so many so less fortunate
Would have traded with me gladly
With a bed to sleep and food to eat
Comes time to contemplate
The things you lack while somebody's back
Is breaking from the weight
Getting what they need
I've been up and I've been down
But I got my feet on the ground
I've been in and I've been out
But I got nothing to pout about
I've been up and I've been down
But I got my feet on the ground
I've been in and I've been out
But I got nothing to pout about
No sense letting compliments
Go straight to my head
I can't let my confidence
Depend on what you've said
God forbid the winds should shift
And I'd be out of style
You can't be fazed by the temperature gauge
When your pride comes from inside
Let me tell you that
I've been up and I've been down
But I got my feet on the ground
I've been in and I've been out
But I got nothing to pout about
I've been up and I've been down
But I got my feet on the ground
I've been in and I've been out
But I got nothing to pout about
I think it's time you gained some perspective
And gave thanks for all you've been blessed with
You're too old to be so affected
By what others deem as impressive
I think it's time you gained some perspective
And gave thanks for all you've been blessed with
You're too old to be so affected
By what others deem as impressive
I've been up and I've been down
But I got my feet on the ground
I've been in and I've been out
But I got nothing to pout about
I've been up and I've been down
But I got my feet on the ground
I've been in and I've been out
But I got nothing to pout about
