[Verse 1]
So alone, you don't know if you can ever win
Your pretty face stained to hell from all the things you've seen

[Pre-Chorus]
But you've gotta learn to stand up, you've gotta learn to shout
You know the worst is over now, we're gonna work this out
You've gotta learn to stand up, you've gotta learn to shout
You know the worst is over now, we're gonna work this out

[Chorus]
You said, "I don't wanna be loved, don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, don't wanna be loved"

[Verse 2]
Oh my God, why you bustling 'bout your neighborhood?
But you just stand your ground and don't let no one ever push you down now

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you've gotta learn to stand up, you've gotta learn to shout
You know the worst is over now, we're gonna work this out
You've gotta learn to stand up, you've gotta learn to shout
You know the worst is over now, we're gonna work this out

[Chorus]
Boy, you said, "I don't wanna be loved, don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, don't wanna be loved, no"
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be loved, don't wanna be loved
I don't wanna be loved, don't wanna be loved, no

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you've gotta learn to stand up, you've gotta learn to shout
You know the worst is over now, we're gonna work this out

[Chorus]
Boy, you said, "I don't wanna be loved, don't wanna be loved, oh no no
I don't wanna be loved, don't wanna be loved, no"

[Outro]
You've gotta learn to stand up
You've gotta learn to stand up
You've gotta learn to stand up
