Lyrics

DON?T STAND IN MY WAY



SOMETIMES I WISH WE WERE UNION

SEEIN? WHAT THEY DO TO ME

AND I KNOW A MAN CAN?T STAND

ALL BY HIMSELF


BUT WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO

WHEN I SPEND ALL MY TIME

WORKIN? FOR YOU

I AIN?T DOIN? THIS FOR MY HEALTH


CHORUS

DON?T STAND IN MY WAY

IF YOU?RE NOT GONNA STAND

FOR WHAT I BELIEVE IN

YOU?VE GOT TO TREAT A MAN

LIKE A MAN


OR THINK OF MY FAMILY

IF YOU?RE NOT GONNA HAVE

RESPECT FOR ME

THEY DESERVE A CHANCE

DON?T YOU UNDERSTAND


SOMETIMES I THINK

I CAN CHANGE IT

MAKE A NEW LIFE FOR ME

BUT THERE?S ALWAYS

SOMETHING TO HOLD ME

WHERE I AM


MAYBE THAT?S THE PRICE I PAY

FOR STAYING TOO LONG

INSTEAD OF RUNNING AWAY

YET, I FEEL I?VE DONE ALL I CAN

CHORUS

DON?T STAND IN MY WAY

IF YOU?RE NOT GONNA STAND

FOR WHAT I BELIEVE IN

YOU?VE GOT TO TREAT A MAN

LIKE A MAN


OR THINK OF MY FAMILY

IF YOU?RE NOT GONNA HAVE

RESPECT FOR ME

THEY DESERVE A CHANCE

DON?T YOU UNDERSTAND
