Stand Up Lyrics - Smart Kid - Clumsy Lovers

I remember when you first arrived 

Medicated, till barely alive 

And I watched with wonder as color returned to your cheeks 

Thinking of the words I'd say, should we ever get the chance to speak (I'd say) 

Stand up, don't be foolish 

You got one life to live, may as well start it now 

Get your hands up, come on let's do this 

It's just you and me baby and all the time we're allowed 

I remember when you first awoke 

Eyes like steel, voice like velvet rope 

You said you'd been dreaming of a man who looked like me 

Who gave the most sincere advice without the slightest hint of irony 

(saying) 

Stand up, don't be foolish 

You got one life to live, may as well start it now 

Get your hands up, come on let's do this 

It's just you and me baby and all the time we're allowed 

We all thought you would grow strong 

Who knew we could be so wrong 

I remember when you first broke loose 

Some chased after, I said what's the use 

Everybody comes around here looking for a change 

Happy are the ones who learn it's not so odd to be strange 

Stand up, don't be foolish 

You got one life to live, may as well start it now 

Get your hands up, come on let's do this 

It's just you and me baby and all the time we're allow
