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 no go quietly

I will not lie down

I will not lie down
