 GYou were a business, I was a Cstart-up

 GYou were a record, I was a Cremix
You were the sunshine, I was a Emraincheck
You needed time but, you were my DRolex, my Rolex (a Rollie)
GI couldn't get it right Cuntil you opened up my eyes
EmYou turned my whole world upside Ddown (two, three, four)
GThings are looking up, Cthings are looking up
EmI couldn't find a star in the sky but Dnow that found us
GThings are looking up, even when I'm down
CHad about enough, looking at the ground
EmI couldn't find a star in the sky but Dnow that found us
GThings are looking up
 GYou were a diamond, I was a Ccoal mine
You were a free-way, I was a Emstop sign
