Up In The World Lyrics - Clifford T Ward

You've come up in the world 

And it's all to your credit 

You made somethin' of your life like you always said you would 

But what ever happened to 

The girl I used to know 

And all those halcyon days of love? 

You've come up in the world 

And it's such a shame 

You made success of a dream but it seems so empty now 

With your weak excuses and 

Your condescending ways 

And all too frequent nights - alone. 

STRINGS 

I've come down in the world 

And it's all to your credit 

You made somethin' of my life but you've thrown it all away 

For your books and your fancy talk 

Your new found friends and all 

Your theories on mankind - and society.
