Upside Down Frown
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You say you've got some very excellent news
You say I'm going to die when you tell me
And in my way, I will
But though your words will kill,
I know you'll think that I don't seem to care
It's just because my frown is upside down
It's upside down, my frown
Is upside down
I'm happy at your happiness as well
Your anger makes me mad
Though you can't tell
Believe me when I say
I'm with you in my private way
And though you think I'm trying to blow you off
It's only that my frown is upside down
It's upside down, my frown
Is upside down
My frown's upside down
You'd probably like to give me a smack
But there's something about my face
That always keeps you coming back
When I'm with you, the landscape goes all weird
Black is white, and the rainbow has a beard
Are your eyes playing tricks
Or should you get your glasses fixed?
Well, I don't think your eyesight is to blame
The problem is my frown is upside down
It's upside down, my frown
Is upside down
My frown's upside down
It's upside down, my frown
Is upside down
My frown's upside down
