Stand UpRick Springfield

Songwriter: Rick Springfield

Producer: Bill Drescher Rick Springfield

Stand Up
Try a little bit of love
And a bit of persuasion
I heard love, plus love's
A universal equation

But don't let somebody push you 'round
You gotta Stand Up

Stand Up
You got something to say
Don't sit there and pout it
Put your feet on the seat
Stand Up and shout it

And don't let somebody sit you down
Stand Up

You wanna own the world
You want it stuffed and mounted
You can't do it sitting down
Stand Up and be counted
But if you wanna break the rules
Stand Up

This ain't no movie theater
This ain't a classroom
Nobody's gonna tell you what to do
So come on everybody, get up
I want you
Stand Up

Let's see a little upward motion
You've got to clap your hands
If you wanna commotion
But don't let nobody sit you down
Stand Up

Try a little bit of love
And a bit of persuasion
I heard love, plus love's
A universal equation

But don't let somebody push you 'round
You gotta Stand Up
I said don't let somebody push you 'round
Stand Up
Don't let somebody push you 'round

Stand Up

Rick Springfield

Rick Springfield (born Richard Lewis Springthorne, 23 August 1949) is an Australian musician and actor. In his teenage years he lived in England where he joined various bands. In 1968, Pete Watson invited him to join Rockhouse (the name of the group was soon changed to MPD Ltd). After a tour in South Vietnam Springfield and the drummer Danny Finley formed Wickedly Wak.

In September 1969, Rick replaced Roger Hicks in the pop rock group Zoot. He had written various songs before the band broke up. Springfield commenced his solo career signing with Sparmac Records. In 1973, he started performing for Columbia Records. He released his best-known hit, “Jessie’s Girl”, in 1981 in the album Working Class Dog, and continues recording music nowadays.

Springfield is also known for performances in several TV series. He made his acting debut in 1977 in The Six Million Dollar Man. Since then, he appeared in shows including General Hospital, Legion, and Hawaii Five-0.
