| I’m gonna hold on--
|
| 'cause what I believe in is so strong
|
| No matter how long, no one
|
| Can tell me I’m wrong--I ain’t goin' down
|
| I had a baby at fifteen--
|
| daddy never did forgive me I never heard from the guy again
|
| I had to drop outta high school--
|
| everybody treated me so cruel
|
| But I didn’t give in and giver her away
|
| I’m gonna hold on--
|
| 'cause what I believe in is so strong
|
| No matter how long, no one
|
| Can tell me I’m wrong--I ain’t goin' down
|
| Her smile got me through the day--
|
| and every night I’d pray
|
| I could give her enough
|
| At night I’d lie awake and cry--
|
| hopin' we’d get by
|
| 'Cause you can’t live on love
|
| I worked night and day to keep us goin'
|
| Through the sweat and tears
|
| without her knowin'
|
| It was worth it just to watch her grow
|
| Oh, oh, at least I was able to hold her
|
| Whenever she needed my shoulder
|
| I’m so glad I never let her go
|
| I’m gonna hold on--
|
| 'cause what I believe in is so strong
|
| No matter how long, no one
|
| Can tell me I’m wrong--I ain’t goin' down
|
| Her smile got me through the years--
|
| dried away the tears
|
| And filled me with hope
|
| At night I’d lie awake and cry--
|
| prayed we would get by And for the courage to cope
|
| Oh, oh, oh Her smile got me through the day--
|
| and every night I’d pray
|
| I could give her enough
|
| I’m gonna hold on--
|
| 'cause what I believe in is so strong
|
| No matter how long, no one
|
| Can tell me I’m wrong--I ain’t goin' down
|
| I’m gonna hold on--
|
| 'cause what I believe in is so strong
|
| No matter how long, no one
|
| Can tell me I’m wrong--I ain’t goin' down
|
| No on can tell me I’m wrong
|
| I ain’t goin' down |
