lyrics

“I Won’t Just Stand There”

VERSE ONE
I won’t just stand there and watch you go
I’ll be kicking and screaming like a tornado
I’ll be huffing and puffing. I’ll be ready to blow.
I won’t just stand there and watch you go
I won’t just stand there and watch you go

VERSE TWO
I won’t just stand there and watch you leave
I’ll be moaning and groaning like you’d never believe
I’ll be begging and pleading. I’ll be down on my knees
I won’t just stand there and watch you leave
I won’t just stand there and watch you leave

MIDDLE 8
I’m keeping my head buried
I’m keeping my eyes closed
‘cause I don’t wanna worry
I don’t wanna watch you go

VERSE THREE
I won’t just stand there and let us quit
We’ve been coming and going through the thin and the thick
Let’s keep it together, ain’t got no reason to split
I won’t just stand there and let us quit
I won’t just stand there and let us quit

MIDDLE 8
I’m keeping my head buried
I’m keeping my eyes closed
Because I don’t wanna worry
I don’t wanna watch you go

VERSE FOUR
I won’t just stand there and watch you go
With my hat in my hand and a lump in my throat
I’m the reason you’re leaving, I broke us I know
But I can’t just stand there and watch you go
