[Verse 1]
Once I got fed up when you told me what to do
But still I did it, to myself I was untrue
But now I'm stronger, I can see a better way
You better listen hard to what I have to say
I've done it, I've won it, not running away

[Chorus]
I got up, I got up, I got up
And I ain't going down again
I got up, I got up, I got up
And I ain't going down again

[Verse 2]
My friends have told me I was going down fast
They try to tell me not to live in the past
Now I can laugh because I know they were right
You dirty dog, your bark was worse than your bite
I've done it, I won it and here's what I say

[Chorus]
I got up, I got up, I got up
And I ain't going down again, Yeah

[Bridge]
It's good to know that I can set myself free
Anytime I want to I can be the real me
But now I'm telling you whatever I do
One thing is certain it will be without you
I've done it, I've won it, so be on your way
[Chorus]
I got up, I got up, I got up
And I ain't going down again

[Outro]
You better believe it
I got up baby and I ain't going down
No matter what you say or do
Be on your way
Get out of here

Goodbye you dirty, dirty dog
Woof Woof
