Paul McCartney - Chansons rares, inédites : paroles, traductions, explications

Informations sur la chanson

Pendant les sessions de Paris en 1973, nous avons enregistré une piste d’accompagnement d’une des idées de Linda. La chanson a été complétée plusieurs années plus tard et le chant a finalement été ajouté en 1998. Son côté brutal est typique de son refus de supporter les conneries des autres. Elle détestait les mots comme « devrait » et « compromis ». Pour elle, la liberté de faire ce que l’on veut est un droit fondamental.

Les paroles de la chanson

Once I got fed up when you told me what to do
But still I did it, to myself I was untrue
But now I’m stronger, I can see a better way.
You better listen hard to what I have to say.
I’ve done it, I’ve won it, not running away
I got up, I got up, I got up
And I ain’t going down again
I got up, I got up, I got up
And I ain’t going down again
My friends have told me I was going down fast
They try to tell me not to live in the past
Now I can laugh because I know they were right
You dirty dog, your bark was worse than your bite
I’ve done it, I won it and here’s what I say
I got up, I got up, I got up
And I ain’t going down again, Yeah
It’s good to know that I can set myself free
Anytime I want to I can be the real me
But now I’m telling you whatever I do
One thing is certain it will be without you
I’ve done it, I’ve won it, so be on your way
I got up, I got up, I got up
And I ain’t going down again
You better believe it
I got up baby and I ain’t going down
No matter what you say or do
Be on your way
Get out of here
Goodbye you dirty, dirty dog
Woof Woof
