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


Definitley 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
