WATCH ME

Songtext

[INTRO — MALE LEAD, SUNG WITH ATTITUDE] You wrote me off — your first mistake Now watch the ground beneath you shake [FEMALE VOCAL — STRONG, SHARP RESPONSE] You ain’t seen nothing yet! [FULL BAND SLAMS INTO THE MAIN RIFF] [VERSE 1 — MALE LEAD] You made your mind up before I began Never thought I’d be the one who stands You saw the doubt, thought that was all Never expected me to outlast it all Now every word that you threw my way Sounds a whole lot different today [PRE-CHORUS — MALE LEAD, BUILDING POWER] You thought you knew how this would end You never saw me coming back again Now every doubt, every word you threw Is just another reason I’ll prove you wrong! [CHORUS — MALE LEAD] I’m everything you thought I’d never be No chains, no rules, no apologies You can keep on talking, throw your shots at me I’m still standing — just look and see! [FEMALE VOCALS — POWERFUL RESPONSE] WATCH ME! — I don’t back down! WATCH ME! — Can’t keep me down! [MALE + FEMALE — FULL HARMONY] I’m everything you thought I’d never be! WATCH ME! WATCH ME! JUST WATCH ME! [VERSE 2 — MALE LEAD, COCKY WITH A SMIRK] Well, look who’s talking now Funny how you’ve changed your tune You had me written off back then Now you’re watching me break through You were so sure, so damn convinced Tell me, how’s it feel to be wrong? [PRE-CHORUS — MALE LEAD, BUILDING POWER] You thought you knew how this would end You never saw me coming back again Now every doubt, every word you threw Is just another reason I’ll prove you wrong! [CHORUS — MALE LEAD] I’m everything you thought I’d never be No chains, no rules, no apologies You can keep on talking, throw your shots at me I’m still standing — just look and see! [FEMALE VOCALS — POWERFUL RESPONSE] WATCH ME! — I don’t back down! WATCH ME! — Can’t keep me down! [MALE + FEMALE — FULL HARMONY] I’m everything you thought I’d never be! WATCH ME! WATCH ME! JUST WATCH ME! [BRIDGE — MALE LEAD, BUILDING WITH DEFIANCE] You made your judgement, drew your line Never thought I’d get here in my own time You had your doubts, you had your say Now there’s nothing left for you to say! [FEMALE VOCAL — POWERFUL RESPONSE] LOOK AT YOU NOW! [MALE LEAD] You had your chance — you got me wrong! [SHORT, MELODIC 80s ROCK GUITAR SOLO] Crunchy rhythm guitars, driving bass, punchy drums and a soaring melodic lead guitar. The band builds into the final chorus. [FINAL CHORUS — MALE LEAD, FEMALE VOCALS JOINING STRONGER] I’m everything you thought I’d never be No chains, no rules, no apologies You can keep on talking, throw your shots at me I’m still standing — just look and see! [FEMALE VOCALS — POWERFUL RESPONSE] WATCH ME! — I don’t back down! WATCH ME! — Can’t keep me down! [MALE + FEMALE — FULL HARMONY, BIG FINISH] I’m everything you thought I’d never be! WATCH ME! WATCH ME! [FINAL HIT — BOTH VOCALS] JUST WATCH ME! [FULL BAND HITS HARD — GUITARS RING OUT, TIGHT STUDIO ENDING]
