| You said I’d never get close enough
|
| To reach for these heights
|
| You told me I need to grow up
|
| Get these dreams off my mind
|
| Look at where I’m standing now
|
| And look at where you are
|
| Ain’t that a surprise?
|
| You know, the times are changing now
|
| And I’m going on
|
| I am gonna rise
|
| And now you’re coming on to me
|
| You tell me what you said was mean
|
| But you did never really mean to hurt me
|
| I’d known that’s what you were to say
|
| And I guess it’s true in a way
|
| But I won’t forget, no I won’t forget
|
| Ah-ah-ah
|
| You used to laugh in my face all the time
|
| Ah-ah-ah
|
| You used to tell me that I can’t be right
|
| Ah-ah-ah
|
| You used to laugh in my face all the time
|
| Ah-ah-ah
|
| You used to laugh in my face
|
| Yeah you laughed in my face
|
| You told me I was no one
|
| But I kept on trying
|
| My goals still make me go on
|
| Chasing these dreams all the time
|
| Look at where I’m standing now
|
| And look at where you are
|
| Ain’t that a surprise?
|
| You know, the times are changing now
|
| And I’m going on
|
| I am gonna rise
|
| And now you’re coming on to me
|
| You tell me what you said was mean
|

|
| You used to tell me that I can’t be right
|
| Ah-ah-ah
|
| You used to laugh in my face all the time
|
| Ah-ah-ah
|
| You used to laugh in my face
|
| Yeah you laughed in my face
|
| (You said I never get close enough)
|
| Getting closer now, getting closer now
|
| Getting closer now
|
| You said I never get close enough
|
| But now I can reach for these heights
|
| You told me I need to grow up
|
| But I’ll never get this off of my mind
|
| Ah-ah-ah
|
| You used to laugh in my face all the time
|
| (You used to laugh in my face)
|
| Ah-ah-ah
|
| You used to tell me that I can’t be right
|

|
| Ah-ah-ah
|
| You used to laugh in my face
|
| Yeah you laughed in my face
|
| Oh |
