james reyne - stood up lyrics
i stood up for the first time
when i was just eleven months old
and ever since that day, my mama said
i never done what i was told
i never stood for nothing too much
all through my schooling years
but i stood as much as i could stand
i guess that’s why i’m still standing here
yes, and
[chorus:]
i stood up
when love called my name, baby
i stood up
even when that love was all in vain, baby
i got stood up once
and left out in the pouring rain, baby
but i stood up
and i’d do it again
i guess she never understood what she could do
with all her flaming red hair
but i could not stand the heat in her kitchen
so, jack, i got out of there
i stood up to get a pack of cigarettes
down at the corner store
new she’s standing in some corner of my heart
behind the kitchen screen door
[chorus]
i don’t know about you
but there’s a lot of things i never stood up to
even as i turned and walked away
i guess that’s why i’m standing on my own
two feet today
now they gave last call for alcohol
and no one has to carry me home
you see i only work here now man
my drinking days are long gone
i couldn’t stand up after one, no
’til twenty had me down on the floor
now the first one doesn’t get me
even though i’m still the last one out the door
[chorus]
