[Verse 1]

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]

(I won't back down)

Hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out

(I won't back down)

Hey, I will stand my ground (Ooh)

And I won't back down

[Verse 2]

Well, I know what's right

I got just one life

In a world that keeps on pushin' me around

But I'll stand my ground

And I won't back down

[Chorus]

(I won't back down)

Hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out

(I won't back down)

Hey, I will stand my ground (Ooh, I won't back down)

And I won't back down

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

(I won't back down)

Hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out

(I won't back down)

Hey, I won't back down (Ooh)

(I won't back down)

Hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out

(I won't back down)

Hey, I will stand my ground (Ooh, I won't back down)

And I won't back down (I won't back down)

No, I won't back down
