Stand Up - Nerina Pallot

All these compliments, please

Why you being so nice to me?

I see you furtively

Taking care of business

I won’t beg, I won’t plead

Darling I have dignity

It’s a complex currency

I wouldn’t expect you to understand

Now I’m not saying I’m always right

Just 99% of the time

And if I listen to your lies

I’d be stupid, not just blind

Stand up, stand up, yeah

You’ve gotta man up, man up

Oh now I ain’t been imagining things

I put two and two together and I’ve got something

Stand up, stand up, oh oh oh

You’ve gotta man up, man up

Oh now I ain’t been imagining things

I put two and two together and I’ve got something

In the face of such charm

What else is a man to do?

Oh no she’s not too young for you

It’s just that you’re a little mature

And it’s not that you’re weak

Goodness no, I hear you speak

And birds are charmed from trees

But this one heard it all before

Now I’m not saying I’m always right

Just 99% of the time

And consequently I

I’m bidding this goodbye

Stand up, stand up, yeah

You’ve gotta man up, man up

Oh now I ain’t been imagining things

I put two and two together and I’ve got something

Stand up, stand up, oh oh oh

You’ve gotta man up, man up

Oh now I ain’t been imagining things

I put two and two together and I’ve got something

Now I’m not saying that I’m always right

Just 99% of the time

I won’t listen to your lies

I’m not stupid, I’m not blind

Stand up, stand up, yeah

You’ve gotta man up, man up

Oh now I ain’t been imagining things

I put two and two together and I’ve got something

Stand up, stand up, oh oh oh

You’ve gotta man up, man up

Oh now I ain’t been imagining things

I put two and two together and I’ve got something

I got something, I got something
