Lyrics
I'VE UPPED MY ATTITUDE
WORDS AND MUSIC:
MONTE THOMAS, POLLY THOMAS
BILL RAWLINSON, KRIS THOMAS
VERSE:
I BEEN DOWN LONG ENOUGH
YOU'VE BEEN MAKING MY LIFE REAL ROUGH
YOU'VE TAKEN WHAT WAS RIGHT
AND TURNED IT ALL WRONG
NOW IT'S TIME TO OPEN UP NEW DOORS
I'VE UPPED MY ATTITUDE NOW UP YOURS
SINCE THE DAY THAT WE FIRST MET
YOU'VE PUT ME DOWN, DEEP DOWN IN DEBT
YOU'VE BUSTED MY BANK
AND IT COST ME MY HEART
BUT YOU ALWAYS SEEM TO WANT SO MUCH MORE
I'VE UPPED MY ATTITUDE NOW UP YOURS
CHORUS:
I'VE UPPED MY ATTITUDE
I'VE CHANGED MY WORLD AROUND
I'VE GOT MYSELF A BRAND NEW LIFE
AND I THINK THAT I HAVE FOUND
A WAY TO MAKE YOU HAPPY
PUT A STOP TO ALL THESE WARS
I'VE UPPED MY ATTITUDE, NOW UP YOURS
VERSE;
I WON'T SAY THAT YOU'RE TO BLAME
BUT YOU AND ME, WE'RE NOT THE SAME
YOU'RE A BRICK SHY OF A LOAD
YOU'RE NOT PLAYING A FULL DECK
YOU'RE NOT ROWING WITH BOTH OARS
I'VE UPPED MY ATTITUDE, NOW UP YOURS
REPEAT CHORUS
