Norah Jones - Don't Be Denied lyrics

She was a young girl mama said to her
Your daddy's leaving home today
Think he's gone to stay
We packed up all the 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

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
She played guitar
Used to sit on the steps at school
And dream of being stars they started a band
They 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

Businessmen crowded around
They came to hear the golden sound
There they were on the Sunset Strip
Playing their songs for the highest bid
They 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

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
