Il testo della Stood up

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

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

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 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
Till 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

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
