Stand Up Lyrics

From the moment I met you, everything changed
I knew I had to get you, whatever the pain
I had to take you and make you mine (take you and make you mine)
I would walk through the desert
I would walk down the aisle
I would swim all the oceans just to see you smile
Whatever it takes is fine (whatever it takes is fine)

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
So put your hands up
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
'Cause it's a stand up
And I won't be leaving 'til I finish stealing
Every piece of your heart, every piece of your heart

I know your hearts been broken, but don't you give up
I'll be there, yeah, I know it, to fix you with love
It hurts me to think that you've ever cried (you've ever cried)

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
So put your hands up
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
'Cause it's a stand up
And I won't be leaving 'til I finish stealing
Every piece of your heart, every piece of your heart
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
So put your hands up
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
'Cause it's a stand up
And I won't be leaving 'til I finish stealing
Every piece of your heart

Then I will steal us a car
And we will drive to the stars
I will give you the moon
It's the least I can do if you give me the chance

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
So put your hands up
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
'Cause it's a stand up

I'm a thief, I'm a thief (you can call me a thief)
I'm a thief, I'm a thief (but you should know your part)
I'm a thief, I'm a thief (I'm only here)
I'm a thief, I'm a thief (because you stole my heart)

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
So put your hands up
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
'Cause it's a stand up
And I won't be leaving 'til I finish stealing (I'm only here)
Every piece of your heart
'Cause you stole my heart

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
Call me a thief
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
But you should know your part
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
I'm only here
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
Because you stole my heart

What is the Meaning of Stand Up?

It's the satisfaction of a goal achieved, a dream come true. Right, in this instance it's supposed to be about a girl and all the teenage passion (often seemingly invisible status supposedly achieved) but it's a damn right good feeling to get what you have struggled for!
