Black eyes' I don't need 'em

Blue tears, gimme freedom





Positively never goin' back

I won't live where things are so out of whack

No more rollin' with the punches

No more usin' or abusin'



I'd rather die standing

Than live on my knees

Begging please - no more



Black eyes - I don't need 'em

Blue tears - gimme freedom

Black eyes - all behind me

Blue tears'll never find me now



Definitely found my self-esteem

Finally - I'm forever free to dream

No more cryin' in the corner

No excuses - no more bruises



I'd rather die standing

Than live on my knees

Begging please - no more



Black eyes - I don't need 'em

Blue tears - gimme freedom

Black eyes - all behind me

Blue tears'll never find me now



I'd rather die standing

Than live on my knees, begging please . . .



Black eyes - I don't need 'em

Blue tears - gimme freedom

Black eyes - all behind me

Blue tears'll never find me now



It's all behind me, they'll never find me now



Find your self-esteem and be forever free to dream
