[Intro]
Daddy said, “You get one chance in life''
Daddy said, “You get one chance in life''

[Verse 1: Jesy Nelson & Perrie Edwards]
Let me start it by telling you something
I think there's one thing you should know
We aren't playing no games, this ain't no playground
It's time to drop your sticks and stones
Cause I've been chasing dreams since I took my first sleep
And I'm gon' be Lil Bo, so, contemplate if you're the sheep
And we gon' bake a humble pie, so egos cut a slice
And take a piece, hey

[Pre-Chorus: Jade Thirlwall]
So, you see, there's no point in underestimating me
Lock up all your thoughts and throw away the key
No, I don't want to hear it, 'cause your— (Shh) won't stick
No, it doesn't bother me, oh-oh

[Chorus: All]
Now, I'm done with all your ne-gati-vity
And I'm gonna let it wash all over me
I'll be stronger than your words, baby, I'm harder
My smile lights up the world, I'm flying higher

[Post-Chorus: All & Perrie Edwards]
So, stand down (Don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, now (Don't wanna hear it)
Stand down (Don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, back it up, up, now
Stand down (Don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, now (Don't wanna hear it)
Stand down (Don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, back it up, up, now
Daddy said, “You get one chance in life''
Daddy said, “You get one chance in life'' (Life)

[Verse 2: Leigh-Anne Pinnock]
Come a little bit closer, let me tell you
About a girl you used to know
She ain't waiting for luck, no wishful thinker
She's going to do it on her own

[Pre-Chorus: Jade Thirlwall & Perrie Edwards]
So (So, oh-oh), you see, there's no point in underestimating me
Lock up all your thoughts and throw away the key
No, I don't want to hear it, 'cause your— (Shh) won't stick
No, it doesn't bother me, yeah, yeah

[Chorus: All]
Now, I'm done with all your ne-gati-vity
And I'm gonna let it wash all over me
I'll be stronger than your words, baby, I'm harder
My smile lights up the world, I'm flying higher

[Post-Chorus: All, Perrie Edwards & Jesy Nelson]
So, stand down (Don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, now (Don't wanna hear it)
Stand down (Don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, back it up, up, now
Stand down (Don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, now (Don't wanna hear it)
Stand down (Don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, back it up, up, now (L-l-ladies, let’s break it down)

[Bridge: Jesy Nelson + Leigh-Anne Pinnock & All]
I'm just gonna do me, I'mma do this right
You got nothing on me, you're just wasting your time
Take a listen to me, 'cause I'mma tell you tonight
Oh, woah-oh, woah-oh

[Chorus: All, Leigh-Anne Pinnock & Jade Thirlwall]
Now, I'm done with all your ne-gati-vity (Oh-oh)

I'll be stronger than your words, baby, I'm harder
My smile lights up the world, I'm flying higher (Higher)
