Stand up for your love rights
Stand up for your love rights
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Now don't be afraid
Don't let things stand in your way
Now you've reached a time in your life
When you just can't take no more
Are you ready to leave
'Cause you can no longer breathe
You can't hide or disguise
What it is that you want to change
Don't hold back
Make up your mind
Don't hold back
Stand up for your love rights
And don't you feel ashamed
Stand up for your love rights
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Now don't take what you don't want
Just take what you need
It's your right, don't be frightened to fight it
Take your time to choose
Yeah, when you're ready to leave
Make up your mind and believe
Don't you run from the truth
It's no use, 'cause it's all you'll need
Don't hold back
Make up your mind
Don't hold back
Stand up for your love rights and enjoy it
Stand up for your love rights
