Feel like throwin' in the towel?
Don't be a fool
They're out to knock you out n'
Put you down for the count
Watch the left, watch the right
Below the belt
They'll run you round and round
It's plain to see
It's never gonna stop
They'll run you til you drop
There ain't no power 'round
Can't keep a good man down
Ah, there's still some fight in me
That's how it'll always be
Hold your head up high, look 'em in the eye
Never say die
Get up and make it work (Make it work)
Get up. Get up and make it work
You say that love has got you down
Well that's bullshit
If this love has got you down
Then love can pick you right back up
There ain't no power 'round
Can't keep a good man down
Walkin' down a dead-end street
No mercy at your feet
They're holdin' all the cards
Makin' things so hard, 'fore it goes too far, kick it
Get up and make it work (Make it work)
Get up. Get up and make it work
Get up and make it work (Make it work)
Ow! Get up. Get up and make it work
Feel like throwin' in the towel?
Don't be a fool
They're out to knock you out n'
Keep you down for the count
Now, watch the left, watch the right
Below the belt
There's still some fight in me
That's how it'll always be
Hold your head up high, look 'em in the eye
Never say die!
Just, get up and make it work
Get up (Get up) make it work (Make it work)
Come on, get up make it work (Make it work)
Get up!
