[Intro: Jesy Nelson]
Say, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Say, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah (Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah)
Say, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Say, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah (Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah)

[Verse 1: Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson & Jade Thirlwall]
I got a spoonful of sugar that I think you'll like
No, I don't wanna preach, but I think you might want a cup
(Sip it up, sip it up, sip it up, sip it up, sip it up)
I might be young, but I know my mind
I'm sick of being told what's wrong or right, so, give it up
(Give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up)

[Pre-Chorus: Jesy Nelson]
Uh-oh, now, there you go, out of your comfort zone
Cause I'm breaking out, not breaking down, down, down, down
Ain't got nothing to prove, walk a mile in my shoes
I know the one thing that counts, ugh

[Chorus: Leigh-Anne Pinnock]
I got the right to make up my mind
Say it loud and clear for the whole wide world to hear
We're marching for love, so turn up the drums
Say it loud and clear, for the whole wide world to hear

[Post-Chorus: All & Jade Thirlwall]
Yeah, we must have different shoes on
We're marching to a different beat (Yeah)
So, baby, put your boots on
Keep marching to a different beat (Yeah-eh, hey, yeah)

[Verse 2: Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jesy Nelson with Leigh-Anne Pinnock]
Never in the slow lane, 'cause I like it fast
No time to waste, so, I keep both feet on the gas
(I live it up, live it up, live it up, live it up, live it up)
I might be young, I know who I am
So, I don't follow like a marching band, so, give it up
(Give it up, give it up) (Ooh-ooh)
(Give it up, give it up, give it up)

[Pre-Chorus: Perrie Edwards & Jade Thirlwall]
Uh-oh, now, there you go, out of your comfort zone
Cause I'm breaking out, not breaking down, down, down, down
Ain't got nothing to prove, walk a mile in my shoes
I know the one thing that counts

[Chorus: Leigh-Anne Pinnock & Jesy Nelson]
I got the right to make up my mind
Say it loud and clear for the whole wide world to hear
We're marching for love, so, turn up the drums (So, turn up)
Say it loud and clear, for the whole wide world to hear

[Post-Chorus: All, Perrie Edwards & Jade Thirlwall]
Yeah, we must have different shoes on
We're marching to a different beat (Hey, yeah, yeah-eh)
So, baby, put your boots on
Keep marching to a different beat (Beat, ooh, oh)

[Bridge: Leigh-Anne Pinnock]
I got my head up, shoulders back, I'm doing me
So, they can see I'm marching to a different beat
I take a look in the mirror and I like what I see
So, baby, I keep marching to a different beat, yeah (Woo)

[Chorus: Leigh-Anne Pinnock with Perrie Edwards]
I got the right to make up my mind
Say it loud and clear for the whole wide world to hear
We're marching for love, so turn up the drums
Say it loud and clear, for the whole wide world to hear

[Post-Chorus: All, Jade Thirlwall & Perrie Edwards]
Yeah, we must have different shoes on
We're marching to a different beat
(A marching, a different beat)
So, baby (Oh, oh, oh), put your boots on
Keep marching to a different beat (Yeah, hey, yeah)
