Don't Be Denied - Norah Jones
[Verse 1]
She was a young girl
Mama said to her
Daddy's leaving home today
Think he's gone to stay
We packed up all our bags
And drove out to Anchorage
They got to Anchorage
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
[Chorus]
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied
[Verse 2]
Well pretty soon she met a friend
Played guitar
She used to sit on the steps at school
And dream of being stars
Started a band
They played all night
[Chorus]
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied
[Verse 3]
Businessmen crowded around
They came to hear the golden sound
There they were on the Sunset Strip
Playing their songs for the highest bid
Played all night
The price was right
[Chorus]
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied
[Verse 4]
All that glitters isn't gold
You know you heard that story told
She's a pauper in a naked disguise
A millionaire through a businessman's eyes
Oh friend of mine
Don't be denied
