Keep Shelly In Athens - Livin'

When you see the
Way the boys treat her in the locker room
You wanna punch their livin' day light down
But you hold back again
And you regret again
Coz love is not a thing, that comes so easily

You hide behind the door as the boys leave
And watch her crying down on her knees
You think of sneaking out
But that is copping out
Breathe out, breath in, this should come easily

Has she heard me? Has she seen me? Come in?

When she turns her
Head around and sees me staring at her tattered hair
She wipеs her tears away and shoots me a worriеd glare
"What are you doing here?
I thought you were a queer
This ain't a place to be, hanging round with me."

"If they come back I'll knock them down
Or they can chase me way back home
Coz I ain't gonna watch
Them try to bully you
No way, no way, I'm gonna protect you."

So you take her
By the hand and lead her to the corridor
You're gonna find the boys and even the score
Someone has gotta stop
The bloody beating up
And if it's not you, then who's it gonna be?

You gotta take control and nurture your own
You have friends, no you're not alone
Respect the life you lead
For love you only bleed
Livin', livin', is your priority

Livin', no you're not alone
Livin', to fight for your home
Livin', to holding your own
Livin'

Livin', you are in control
Livin', to nurture your soul
Livin', you are who you are
Livin'

Livin', no you're not alone
Livin', to fight for your home
Livin', to holding your own
Livin'
