hold on now haven't you had enough

you always run the other way

things are getting tough

kissing up to everyone

trying to be their friend

let them walk all over

you never take a stand

you better be assertive

don't settle for some crumbs

i know you can't be spotless

come on and show me some backbone

stand up on your own backbone

don't you b**h and moan

hey baby haven't you heard of love

you better stop to give me some

i've waited long enough

it is such an easy thing

why are you so scared

there's a heart inside of you

waiting to be shared

you better be assertive now don't give me those crumbs

i know you can't be spotless

come on and show me some backbone

stand up on your own backbone

don't you b**h and moan

hang on now the future is in your hands

a winner or a loser babe

it's all at your command

let me know when you decide

who you're gonna be

i'll accept no compromise

if you stick with me

you better be assertive now don't give me those crumbs

i know you can't be spotless

come on and show me some backbone

stand up on your own backbone

don't you get your moan

you better be a certain now

don't give me those crumbs

i know you can't be spotless

come on and show me some backbone

go on and get up on your own backbone

don't you b**h and moan and get yourself backbone

hell stand up on your own backbone

now don't you get your moan
