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