[Verse 1: The Goo Goo Dolls, O.A.R.]
Well, I won't back down
No, I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down
No, I'll stand my ground
Won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground
And I won't back down

[Chorus: OAR, The Goo Goo Dolls]
I won't back down, baby
There ain't no easy way out
I won't back down, yeah
Stand my ground
And I won't back down

[Verse 2: OAR, The Goo Goo Dolls, Both]
Well, I know what's right
I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushing me around
No, I'll stand my ground
And I won't back down

[Chorus: OAR, The Goo Goo Dolls]
I won't back down, hey baby
There ain't no easy way out
I won't back down, yeah
Stand my ground (I won't back down)
And I won't back down
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: OAR, The Goo Goo Dolls]
I won't back down, baby
There ain't no easy way out
I won't back down, yeah
Won't back down
And I won't back down, hey baby
There ain't no easy way out
I won't back down
Stand my ground
And I won't back down
I won't back down
No, I won't back down
