Norah Jones - Don't Be Denied Lyrics

When she was a young girl
Mama said to her
Your daddy's leaving home today
I think he's gone to stay
We packed up all the bags
And drove out to Winnipeg
When they got to Winnipeg
She checked in to school
She wore white chucks on her feet
She learned the golden rule
The punches came fast and hard
Lying on her back in the school yard

Oh, don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied

Well pretty soon she met a friend
Shee played guitar
Used to sit on the steps at school
And dream of being stars
We started a band
We played all night

Oh, don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied

The businessmen crowded around
They came to hear the golden sound
There we were on the Sunset Strip
Playing their songs for the highest bid
They played all night
The price was right

Oh, don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied

All that glitters isn't gold
I know you've heard that story told
And she's a pauper in a naked disguise
A millionaire through a business man's eyes
Oh friend of mine
Don't be denied

Oh
