Ure Man - Stand Up for Yourself Lyrics

He was the smallest kid living on the block
Always getting picked on and beaten a lot
He never thought to fight back
He never thought he could
He was scared, too afraid of the other boys
He took the long way home through the woods
He never wanted to be bruised
He never wanted to lose

So I told him
You got to get up and get tough
Stand up for yourself
Get rough and say enough
Stand up for yourself
Get mean and get seen
Stand up and give'em hell
Get up and get tough
And stand up for yourself

He knew a pretty little girl down the way
She had blond curly hair and a smile all day
He never thought to talk to her
He never thought he could
He was too afraid of what he'd say
He thought he'd mix up words and she'd laugh away
He never wanted any other
He never wanted to leave her

He grew up to be a very great man
Always solved the problems he had in hand
He never shied away from work
Always did what he could
He married that blond down the block
Always made her happy even when things were tough
He never thought about looking back
He felt it was just God's plan
