Don't Be Denied - Norah Jones
She was a young girl
My mama said to her
Your daddy's leaving home today
I think he's gone to stay
Packed up all their bags
Drove out to Winnipeg
We got to Winnipeg
She checked in to school
She wore white bucks on feet
When 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 since she met a friend
She played guitar
Used to sit on the steps at school
Dream of being stars
Started a band
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
The 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
Well 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
