Woke up with a heavy head
And I thought about leavin` town
I could have died if I wanted to-
Slipped over the edge and drowned
But, oh no baby, I won`t give up so easy
Too many tire tracks in the sands of time
Too many love affairs that stop on a dime
I think it`s time to make some changes `round here
Yeah, I`m gonna tear it up
gonna trash it up
I`m gonna round it up
gonna shake it up
Oh, no, baby, I will not lie down
I`m brave enough to be crazy
I`m strong enough to be weak
I see all these heroes with feet of clay
Whose mighty ships have sprung a leak
And I want you to tell me darlin`
Just what do you believe in now?
Well, c`mon over here baby
You `bout to gimme a heart attack
I wanna wrap my lovin` arms
Around the small of your back
Yeah, and I`m gonna pull you, pull you, pull you
Pull you right up close to me
Yeah we`re gonna tear it up
we gonna trash it up
gonna round it up
gonna shake it up
Oh, no no no, I will not lie down
Turn this thing around
I will not go quietly
I will not lie down
I will not go quietly
I will not lie down
I will not go quietly
I will not lie down
I will not lie down
Well, don`t you ever get lonely?
Don`t you ever get down?
Don`t you ever get tired
Of all the wicked tongues in this town?
Of, baby, I just wanna take you away from here
I ain`t no tiger
I ain`t no little lamb
Suppose you tell me mama
Who do you think I think I am?
And ooh baby, don`t you give a damn?
Yeah, I`m gonna tear it up
gonna trash it up
gonna round it up
gonna rip it up
I will not lie down
Yeah I`m gonna tear it up
gonna trash it up
gonna round it up
gonna shake it up
Oh baby I will not lie down
Turn this thing around
I will not go quietly
I will not lie down
I will not go quietly
I will not lie down
I will not lie down
