The Downside Songtext
von G Tom Mac

Can′t take it with you
Can't take her with you, no
Can′t take it with you
Can't take it with you
Can't take her with you, no

Who can you love when you live with the question
That everybody asks every day
Are you gonna be a wannabe, a presidential pimp
Are you just a ho, a queen for a day?

Do the right people for lunch, be the flavor of the month
Yeah, walk your little ass up to fame
If you really want to be another wannabe
You know you′ve got to be somebody, be somebody, be somebody
Hey, hey, hey


The downside is you′ve got to give up some game
(Gotta give up some game)
The upside is you're gonna be a pimp someday
(Looking like you wanna be somebody)
The downside is you wake up with you again
(And again and again and again)
The upside is you can′t take her with you
Can't take her with you

Push the envelope, yeah, act a little stupid
Make ′em all think you're gay
Better off without the rehab, look at Robert Downey Jr
Now you never hear what he′s got to say

Do the right people for lunch, be the flavor of the month
Yeah, walk those little tits up to fame
If you really want to be another wannabe
You know you've got to be somebody, be somebody, be somebody
Hey, hey, hey

The downside is you've got to give up some game
(Gotta give up, gotta give up some game)
The upside is you′re looking like a pimp today
(Looking like you wanna be somebody)
The downside is you wake up with you again
(And again and again and again)
The upside is you can′t take her with you
Can't take her with you, no


Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The downside is you′ve got to give up some game
(Gotta give up some game)
The upside is you're looking like a pimp today
(Looking like you wanna be somebody)
The downside is you wake up with you again
(And again and again and again)
The upside is you can′t take her with you
Can't take her with you
Can′t take her with you, no

(Looking like)
(Gotta give up some game)
