Stand Up by Nerina Pallot Lyrics

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
