Don’t Take It Lyin’ Down

All of your life
You have been been led around like a baby
Cheated and treated
Like no grown-up woman should be

Honey, now the time has come
To let him know that you ain't done
That you had enough, had enough
Oh, this is what you've gotta do
Listen, girl, I'm telling you

Don't take it lying down
(Don't take it lying down)
No, no, no
(No, no, no)
Don't take it lying down
(Don't take it lying down)
No, no, no
Play with fire, got to learn

Everyone's telling you, girl
You just got to be crazy
Oh, how can you stay with that guy
When he's fooling around?

Honey, you have been abused
Don't let him walk all over you
Ain't you had enough, oh, had enough
So if I'm gonna be your man
(Be my man)
This time you gotta make a stand

Don't take it lying down
(Don't take it lying down)
No, no, no
(No, no, no)
Don't take it lying down
(Don't take it lying down)
No, no, no
Play with fire, got to learn

Honey, now the time has come
To let him know that you ain't done
That you had enough, had enough
Oh, this is what you've gotta do
Listen, girl, I'm telling you

Don't take it lying down
(Don't take it lying down)
No, no, no
(No, no, no)
Don't take it lying down
(Don't take it lying down)
No, no, no
(No, no, no)

Don't take it lying down
(Don't take it lying down)
No, no, no
(No, no, no)
Don't take it lying down
(Don't take it lying down)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Don't take it lying down
Don't take it lying down
Don't take it lying down
Don't take it lying down
Don't take it lying down
Don't take it lying down
Don't take it lying down
Don't take it lying down
Don't take it lying down
Don't take it lying down
Don't take it lying down
Don't take it lying down
Don't take it lying down
Don't take it lying down
Don't take it lying down
Don't take it lying down
Don't take it lying down
Don't take it lying down
Don't take it lying down
