Don't Be Denied Lyrics - Norah Jones

When I was a young girl 

My mama said to me 

Your daddy's leaving home today 

I think he's gone to stay 

We packed up all our bags 

And drove out to Winnipeg 

When we got to Winnipeg 

I checked in to school 

I wore white bucks on my feet 

When I learned the golden rule 

The punches came fast and hard 

Lying on my back in the school yard 

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 I met a friend 

He played guitar 

We used to sit on the steps at school 

And dream of being stars 

We started a band 

We played all night 

Don't be denied, don't be denied 

Don't be denied, don't be denied 

Don't be denied, don't be denied 

Oh Canada 

We played all night 

I really hate to leave you now 

But to stay just wouldn't be right 

Down in Hollywood 

We played so good 

The businessmen crowded around 

They came to hear the golden sound 

There we were on the Sunset Strip 

Playing our songs for the highest bid 

We played all night 

The price was right

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, all that glitters isn't gold 

I know you've heard that story told 

And I'm a pauper in a naked disguise 

A millionaire through a business man's eyes 

Oh friend of mine 

Don't be denied
