Stand Down

[Intro]
Daddy said, "You get one chance in life''
Daddy said, "You get one chance in life''

[Verse 1: Jesy, Perrie]
Let me start it by telling you something
I think there's one thing you should know
We ain't playing no games, this ain't no playground
It's time to drop your sticks and stones
'Cause I've been chasing dreams since I took my first sleep
And I'm gon' be Lil' Bo, so contemplate if you're the sheep
And we gon' bake a humble pie, so egos cut a slice
And take a piece, hey

[Pre-Chorus: Jade]
So, you see, there's no point in underestimating me
Lock up all your thoughts and throw away the key
No, I don't want to hear it, 'cause your— (Shh) won't stick
No, it doesn't bother me, oh-oh

[Chorus: All]
Now I'm done with all your negativity
And I'm gonna let it wash all over me
I'll be stronger than your words, baby, I'm harder
My smile lights up the world, I'm flyin' higher

[Post-Chorus: All, Perrie]
So, stand down (Don't wanna hear it)
Back it up now (Don't wanna hear it)
Stand down (Don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, back it up, up now
Stand down (Don't wanna hear it)
Back it up now (Don't wanna hear it)
Stand down (Don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, back it up, up now
Daddy said, “You get one chance in life''
Daddy said, “You get one chance in life''

[Verse 2: Leigh-Anne]
Come a little bit closer, let me tell you
About a girl you used to know
She ain't waiting for luck, no wishful thinker
She's going to do it on her own

[Pre-Chorus: Jade, Perrie]
So (So), you see, there's no point in underestimating me
Lock up all your thoughts and throw away the key
No, I don't want to hear it, 'cause your— (Shh) won't stick
No, it doesn't bother me, yeah

[Chorus: All]
Now, I'm done with all your negativity
And I'm gonna let it wash all over me
I'll be stronger than your words, baby, I'm harder
My smile lights up the world, I'm flyin' higher

[Post-Chorus: All, Perrie, Jesy]
So, stand down (Don't wanna hear it)
Back it up now (Don't wanna hear it)
Stand down (Don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, back it up, up now
Stand down (Don't wanna hear it)
Back it up now (Don't wanna hear it)
Stand down (Don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, back it up, up now (L-l-ladies, let’s break it down)

[Bridge: Jesy & Leigh-Anne, All]
I'm just gonna do me, I'ma doin' this right, right
You got nothing on me, you're just wastin' your time, time
Take a listen to me, 'cause I'ma tell you tonight
Oh, woah, woah

[Chorus: All, Leigh-Anne, Jade]
Now, I'm done with all your negativity (Oh)
And I'm gonna let it wash all over me (Over me, yeah)
I'll be stronger than your words, baby, I'm harder
My smile lights up the world, I'm flyin' higher (Higher)

[Post-Chorus: All, Jade, Perrie, Leigh-Anne]
So, stand down (Higher; Don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, now (Higher; Don't wanna hear it)
Stand down (Don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, back it up, up, now (Oh-oh)
Stand down (Don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, now (Don't wanna hear it)
Stand down (Don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, back it up, up, now
