Ooooh

La la la

La la la

Mmmm

Hey yea

No no

Mmm

Oh no

Hmmm



Oooh I'm so happy that I'm 

Livin' my life

I never knew what I went through

But hoped everything'd turn out right

I'm rememberin' the days that I was holdin' my head down

When people came around I always pretended to smile

But I knew

Deep in my heart

That I was slowly

Fallin apart

Some days

All I wanted

Was to hold my mother's hand

And hear her say

"Baby...

You're gonna make it"

Over and over again

So I



And I been livin' my life for quite some time

(Livin' my life)

And I'm

So glad I made it this far

(oh)

And

Nothin' gonna bring me back down

And

Nothin' gonna turn me around

(turn me around)



And I been livin' my life for quite some time

And I'm

So glad I made it this far

(so glad)

And

Nothin' gonna bring me back down

And

Nothin' gonna turn me around



Don't want nobody to think

It was easy for me

It took a while just to get down

Too many people just didn't believe

I'm remembering the sacrifices that I had to make

I would cry myself to sleep and say that it would be ok

But I knew

That if I prayed

That I would be on my way someday

Some times

All I wanted

Was to hear my father say

He would say

"Baby...

You're gonna make it

And I don't care what people say"

So I'm



And I been livin' my life for quite some time

And I'm

So glad I made it this far

And

Nothin' gonna bring me back down

(Bring me back down)

And

Nothin' gonna turn me around

(Turn me around)



And I been livin' my life for quite some time

And I'm

So glad I made it this far

And

Nothin' gonna bring me back down

(Bring me back down)

And

Nothin' gonna turn me around

(Turn me around



Oh I want the world to see

Everything that's happened to me

I went from goin' out my mind

To always on time

And I am no longer a fool

Since my days are cold without you

And I'm so

(I'm so)

Happy

(Happy)

Baby baby babe

Said I'm so

(I'm so)

Happy

(Happy)

Baby baby babe



And I been livin' my life for quite some time

And I'm

So glad I made it this far

(So glad)

And

Nothin' gonna bring me back down

(Nothing)

And

Nothin' gonna turn me around

(And oooooooh)



And I been livin' my life for quite some time

And I'm so glad I made it this far

(Yeah yeah)

And

Nothin' gonna bring me back down

(Bring me back down)

And

Nothin' gonna turn me around

(Turn me around)
