Salute - 15

[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 leading]
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, no, it doesn't bother me

[All]
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 
Back it up now 
Stand down 
Back it up, back it up-up now
Stand down 
Back it up now
Stand down 
Back it up, back it up-up now

[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, no, it doesn't bother me

[All]
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 
Back it up now
Stand down
Back it up, back it up-up now
Stand down 
Back it up now 
Stand down
Back it up, back it up-up now

Daddy said: "You get once 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 luck, no wishful thinker,
She's gonna do it on her own

[Jade]
So, you see, there's no point in underestimating me, to me
Lock up all your thoughts and throw away the key
No, I don't want to hear it 'cause your, no, it doesn't bother me

[All]
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 
Back it up now 
Stand down 
Back it up, back it up-up now
Stand down 
Back it up now 
Stand down 
Back it up, back it up-up now

You got nothin' on me
You're just wastin' your time
Take a listen to me
'Cause I'm a tell you tonight
Oh, whoa, whoa

[All]
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 
Back it up now 
Stand down 
Back it up, back it up-up now
Stand down

Back it up, back it up-up now
