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'

Bridge:
I'd rather die standing
Than live on my knees
Begging please -- no more

Chorus:
Black eyes -- I don't need 'em
Blue tears -- gimme freedom
Black eyes -- all behind me
Blue tears'll never find me now

Definetely found my self-esteem
Finally -- I'm forever free to dream
No more cryin' in the corner
No excuses -- no more bruises

(Bridge)
(Chorus)

I'd rather die standing
Than live on my knees, begging please...

(Chorus)

It's all behind me, they'll never find me now

Find your self-esteem and be forever free to dream
