Lyrics:

performed by Rick Springfield)

Stand up!

Try a little bit of love and a bit of persuasion
I heard love plus love's a universal equation

But don't let somebody push you 'round, you gotta stand up

Stand up, you got something to say, don't sit there and pout it
Put your feet on the seat, stand up and shout it
But don't let somebody sit you down, stand up

Stand up (stand up), stand up (stand up) (repeats 4x)

You wanna own the world, you want it stuffed and mounted
You can't do it sitting down, stand up and be counted
But if you wanna break the rules, stand up

This ain't no movie theater, this ain't no classroom
Nobody's gonna tell you what to do
So come on everybody, get up, I want you

Stand up, let's see a little upward motion
You've got to clap your hands, if you wanna commotion
But don't let somebody sit you down, stand up

Stand up (stand up), stand up (stand up) (repeats 3x)

Try a little bit, try a little bit of love and a bit of persuasion
I heard love plus love's a universal equation

But don't let somebody push you 'round, you gotta stand up
I said, don't let somebody push you 'round, you gotta stand up
Don't let somebody push you 'round, stand up!
