Lyrics
There was a time I was down, down
Expressing a past period of feeling low or depressed
I didn't know what to do
Describing a state of confusion or uncertainty
I was just stumbling around, around
Portraying aimless or disoriented behavior
Thinking things could not improve
Suggesting a belief that things couldn't improve
I couldn't look on the bright side
Unable to see the positive aspects of any situation
Of anything at all
Feeling pessimistic about everything
That's when you gave me a call
Highlighting a turning point – receiving a call that changed the situation
Now I feel better, better, better than before
Expressing a significant improvement in emotional state
I feel better, better, better, now I'm not down any more
Reiterating the positive change in mood
And there were times I was sure, so sure
Reflecting on past instances of certainty and assurance
I couldn't turn it around
Conveying a sense of inability to reverse a negative situation
I couldn't care any more
Indicating a lack of concern or interest
About the good things I found
Disregarding positive aspects that were once appreciated
That's when you gave me a reason
Describing a pivotal moment – receiving a reason to be happy again
To make me smile again
Expressing the impact of the reason on bringing a smile
I only have to see you and then
Emphasizing the simplicity of the source of happiness
I feel better, better, better than before
Reaffirming the improved emotional state
I feel better, better, better, now I'm not down any more
Repeating the positive change in mood
I feel better, better, better than before
Reiterating the enhanced emotional well-being
I feel better, better, better, now I'm not down any more
Emphasizing the sustained positive change
Life sometimes seems to get the best of you
Commenting on life's challenges and difficulties
Like everything just brings you down
Expressing the feeling of being constantly brought down
Just when you think there's nothing you can do
Suggesting a sense of helplessness in facing challenges
A friendly face will bring you around
Introducing the idea that a supportive person can uplift one's spirits
And you'll feel better
Stating the positive outcome – feeling better
You'll feel better, you'll feel better,
Reassuring that the improvement will persist
Better than before
Stressing the sustained positive change
You'll feel better, much better
Affirming a significant enhancement in well-being
No you won't get down any more
Denying a return to a state of feeling down
