Ub40 – Stand Out lyrics

Open up your eyes take a look at me
Get the picture fixed in your memory
I am driven by the rythm like a beat of a heart
And I wont stop untill I start
To stand out
To stand out

Some people settle for the typical things
Living all their lives waiting in the wings
It ain't a question of IF just'a matter of time
Before I move to the front of the line

And once your watching every move that I make
You gotta belive that I got what it takes

(chorus)
To stand out
Above the crowd
Even if i gotta shout out loud
'Till mine is the only face you'll see
Gonna stand out
TILL YOU NOTICE ME

If the sticky wheels always getting the grease
I am totally devoted to disturbing the peace
And I'll do it all again when I get it done
Untill I become your number ONE

No method to the madness and no means of escape
Gonna break every rule and bend them all out'a shape
It ain't a question of HOW just a matter of when
You get the message that I'm trying to send

I'm under a spell I'm in over my head
And you know I'm going all of the way to the end

(chorus)
To stand out
Above the crowd
Even if I gotta shout out loud
'Till mine is the only face you'll see
Gonna stand out
'Till you notice me *yeah*

*If i could make you stop
and take a look at me instead of just walking on*
*There's nothing that I wouldn't do
if it was getting you to notice I'm alive*

ALL I NEED IF HALF A CHANCE
A SECOND THOUGHT
A SECOND GLANCE
to prove, I got whatever it takes
ITS A PIECE OF CAKE

(chorus)
To stand out
Above the crowd
Even if I gotta shout out loud
'Till mine is the only face you'll see
Gonna Stand out
Stand out *yeah*

Stand out *yeah yeah yeah yeah*
Stand out *mmmm*
'Till mine is the only face you'll see
Gonna stand out
TILL YOU NOTICE ME
