Shania Twain Lyrics


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'

I'd rather die standing
Than live on my knees
Begging please, no more

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

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

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

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

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

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

I'll never find me now, it's all behind me, they'll never find me now
Find your self-esteem and be forever free to dream
