Lyrics[]
(Daddy said you get one chance in life,
daddy said you get one chance in life)
Jesy:
Let me start it by telling you something
I think there's one thing you should know
We ain't playin' no games, this ain't no playground
It's time to drop your sticks and stones
Perrie:
'Cause I've been chasing dreams since I took my first sleep
And I'm gon' be lil' Bo so contemplate if you're the sheep
And we gon' make a humble pie so egos cut a slice and take a piece, hey
Jade:
So, you see, there's no point in underestimating me
Lock up all your thoughts and throw away the key
No I don't want to hear it cause your (shh won't stick)
No it doesn't bother me
Little Mix (Perrie):
Now I'm done with all your negativity
And I'm gonna let it wash all over me
I'll be stronger than your words, baby, I'm harder
My smile lights up the world, I'm flyin' higher
So stand down (don't wanna hear it)
Back it up now (don't wanna hear it)
Stand down (don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, back it up-up now
Stand down (don't wanna hear it)
Back it up now (don't wanna hear it)
Stand down (don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, back it up-up now
(Daddy said you get one chance in life,
daddy said you get one chance in life)
Leigh-Anne:
Come a little bit closer, let me tell you
About a girl you used to know
She ain't waiting for love, no wishful thinker
She's gonna do it on her own
Jade:
So, you see, there's no point in underestimating me
Lock up all your thoughts and throw away the key
No I don't want to hear it cause your (shh won't stick)
Perrie:
No, it doesn't bother me, yeah
Little Mix (Perrie):
Now I'm done with all your negativity
And I'm gonna let it wash all over me
I'll be stronger then your words, baby, I'm harder
My smile lights up the world, I'm flyin' higher
So stand down (don't wanna hear it)
Back it up now (don't wanna hear it)
Stand down (don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, back it up-up now
Stand down (don't wanna hear it)
Back it up now (don't wanna hear it)
Stand down (don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, back it up-up now
Jesy:
