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 CHORUS: 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
