Stand Out Lyrics - Ub40

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
