DON'T BACK DOWN

Home demo version


Well...
I know you're just running scared, I know you're now scared baby
The times ??? and you just got a, got a man down somewhere
If you need a helping hand baby, it might be somewhere I can go ???
You need a helping hand ??? just stand up, stand up, shout out

Don't back down, don't back down
Don't back down, don't back down
Don't back down, don't back down
Don't back down, don't back down baby

Oh my love [recording cut]
