Just got out of Paris

done my time by the Seine

she said love lasts forever

only fools dance in vain

maybe I head out for London

to do my share down the Thames

sick and tired of you talking

about your world in chains yeah!

Don't let them get to your head boy

you ain't no good on your knees

well I ain't bleeding for no one

I ain't diggin' to please - and I

won't back down, I won't back down

I won't back down from where I came

on a one track down

Just go back to New York

for a stroll down the Hudson

what a nice place to be

said the young and handsome

well I ain't running to someone

I ain't scared to see

I'm just spending my time here

and it ain't for free - and

I won't back down

I won't back down

I won't back down from where I came

on a one track down (I won't back down)

she got out of Los Angeles

did her time by the ocean (she said)

you won't believe all the jerks there

all so pretty in London

so take me back to Paris

for a walk down the Seine

we could stay there forever

we could dance thru this rain

I won't back down

I won't back down

I won't back down from where I came

on a one track down

I won't back down

I won't back down

I won't back down from where I came

on a one track down

I won't back down

I won't back down
