Stand Back

(album: Hot Number - 1987)

When you want something bad enough
You got to stick to it
Ain't nobody telling me that I can't do it
Don't let no one tell you what you should be
Nobody in this world can say no to me

Stand back, I'm coming through
Stand back, I know just what to do
Stand back, let me make my way
Stand back, listen to what I say

Stepping up in life, you got to help yourself
That don't mean you have to step on no one else
Go for it, man, you got nothing to lose
But don't let nobody step on you

Stand back, I'm coming through
Stand back, I know just what to do
Stand back, let me make my way
Stand back, listen to what I say

I ain't gonna run and hide
If you think I am, you better step aside
I ain't gonna turn the other cheek
If you want the world, you can't be meek

You can't get by if you don't take a chance
You got to pay the fiddler if you want to dance
I learned my lesson a long time ago
You got to keep pushing if you want it to go

Stand back, I'm coming through
Stand back, I know just what to do
Stand back, let me make my way
Stand back, listen to what I say

One of these days you got to speak your mind
Even if they say that you're out of line
One of these days, you're gonna know the score
I'm not telling you something you don't know

Stand back, I'm coming through
Stand back, I know just what to do
Stand back, Let me make my way
Stand back, listen to what I say

Stand back, I made my mind up to do it
Stand back, there ain't nothing to it
Stand back, Let me make my way
Stand back, listen to what I say
