Lyrics
Stand down, yeah
Stand down, ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Got to let it, ooh yeah
Gotta do it, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

Friends and lovers beware
'Cause there's something in the air
I feel it coming, I feel it coming
And I'm talking to you all
'Cause when that hammer starts to fall
There'll be no running, there'll be no running

But my people and your people
Must do the things they do, yeah
And my people are such sweet people
Don't worry, baby, won't get those hooks on you

Stand down, don't let them know your secret
(Stand)
Stand down, if you wanna live your life
(Stand)
Stand down, don't let them know your secret
(Stand)
Stand down, if you wanna live your life
(Stand)
Stand down, ooh yeah, stand down, yeah

It is written in the sky
There's no place for you and I
To keep on strumming, no strumming
In the message that we send
They're gonna tell us in the end
That we had it coming, we had it coming

But my people and your people
Must do the things they do, yeah
And my people are such sweet people
Don't worry, baby, won't get those hooks on you

Stand down, don't let 'em know your secret
(Stand)
Stand down if you wanna live your life
(Stand)
Stand down, don't let 'em know your secret
(Stand)
Stand down if you want, if you wanna live your life
(Stand)

If all the things that we possess
The most important is tenderness
Too cold when that wind blows today
And bitterness is the easy way

Stand down low
Stand down
Got to, got to need
You got to

But my people and your people
Must do the things they do, yeah
And my people are such sweet people
Don't worry, baby, won't get those hooks on you

Stand down, don't let 'em know your secret
(Stand)
Stand down if you wanna live your life
(Stand)
Stand down, don't let them know your secret
(Stand)
Stand down if you wanna live your life
(Stand)

Stand down
(Stand)
Stand down
(Stand)
Stand down
