During the Paris sessions in 1973 we recorded a backing track of one of Linda’s ideas. The song was completed many years later and the vocal finally added in 1998. Its gutsy feel is typical of her unwillingness to put up with other people’s bullshit. She hated words like “should” and “compromise”. F...
[Verse 1]
Once I got fed up when you told me what to do
But still I did it, to myself I was untrue
But now I'm stronger, I can see a better way
You better listen hard to what I have to say
I've done it, I've won it, not running away
[Chorus]
I got up, I got up, I got up
And I ain't going down again
I got up, I got up, I got up
And I ain't going down again
[Verse 2]
My friends have told me I was going down fast
They try to tell me not to live in the past
Now I can laugh because I know they were right
You dirty dog, your bark was worse than your bite
I've done it, I won it and here's what I say
[Chorus]
I got up, I got up, I got up
And I ain't going down again, Yeah
[Bridge]
It's good to know that I can set myself free
Anytime I want to I can be the real me
But now I'm telling you whatever I do
One thing is certain it will be without you
I've done it, I've won it, so be on your way
[Chorus]
I got up, I got up, I got up
And I ain't going down again
[Outro]
You better believe it
I got up baby and I ain't going down
No matter what you say or do
Be on your way
Get out of here
Goodbye you dirty, dirty dog
Woof Woof
