[English]

Angels watching over me with smiles upon their face

...

'Cause I have made it through this far in an unforgiving place

It feels sometimes this hill's too steep for a girl like me to climb

But I must knock those guards right down, I'll do it in my own time

I don't care (care, care)

I'm half way there (go there)

On a road that leads me straight to who knows where

I'll tell you what (I'll tell you what)

What I have found (what I have found)

That I'm no fool (that I'm no fool)

I'm just upside down (just upside down)

Ain't got no cares (ain't got no cares)

I ain't got no rules (ain't got no rules)

I think I like (I think I like)

Living upside down (living upside down)

Watching people scurry by rushing to and fro

Oh, this world is such a crazy place it's all about the go, go, go (go, go, go)

Sometimes life can taste so sweet when you slow it down

You start to see the world a little differently

When you turn it upside down

I don't care (care, care)

I'm half way there (go there)

And I'm just soaking up the magic in the air

I'll tell you what (I'll tell you what)

What I have found (what I have found)

That I'm no fool (that I'm no fool)

I'm just upside down (just upside down)

Ain't got no cares (ain't got no cares)

I ain't got no rules (ain't got no rules)

I think I like (I think I like)

Living upside down (living upside down)

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

You gotta slow it down

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

But then you pick it up

(Whoa, yeah, whoa)

Come on and try a little topsy-turvy back to front the right way round

Take it slow, slow, slow (you gotta pick it up)

Yeah, yeah, yeah (see you slow it down)

Hey, yo, yo (tell me something, something)

I'll tell you what (I'll tell you what)

What I have found (what I have found)

That I'm no fool (that I'm no fool)

I'm just upside down (just upside down)

Ain't got no cares (ain't got no cares)

I ain't got no rules (ain't got no rules)

I think I like (I think I like)

Living upside down (living upside down)

I'll tell you what (I'll tell you what)

What I have found (what I have found)

That I'm no fool (that I'm no fool)

I'm just upside down (just upside down)

Ain't got no cares (ain't got no cares)

I ain't got no rules (ain't got no rules)

I think I like (I think I like)

Living upside down (living upside down)
