Stand Up
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
From the moment I met you, everything changed
I knew I had to get you, whatever the pain
I had to take you and make you mine (take you and make you mine)
I would walk through the desert
I would walk down the aisle
I would swim all the oceans, just to see you smile
Whatever it takes, is fine (whatever it takes, is fine)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
So put your hands up
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause it's a stand up
I won't be leaving
Till I've finished stealing every piece of your heart
Every piece of your heart
I know your heart's been broken, but don't you give up
I'll be there, yeah, I know it, to fix you with love
It hurts me to think that you've ever cried
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
So put your hands up
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause it's a stand up
I won't be leaving
Till I've finished stealing every piece of your heart
Every piece of your heart
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
So put your hands up
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause it's a stand up
I won't be leaving
Till I've finished stealing every piece of your heart
And now I'll steal us the car
And we will drive to the stars
I will give you the Moon
It's the least I can do
If you give me the chance
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
So put your hands up
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause it's a stand up
(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
You can call me a thief
(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
But you should know you're a part
(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
I'm only here
(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
Because you stole my heart
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
So put your hands up
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
'Cause it's a stand up
I won't be leaving
Till I've finished stealing every piece of your heart (I won't be leaving)
'Cause you stole my heart
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
Call me a thief
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
But you should know you're a part
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
I'm only here
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Because you stole my heart
