We've been broken down to the lowest turn
Bein' on the bottom line, sure aint 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

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
The only way is up, you and me now...
