Living My Life

[Verse 1]

[Intro]

Oooh, oh, oh

Hey, yeah

Mmm, mmm, no

Mmmm

[Verse 2]

Oh, I'm so happy that I'm living my life

I never knew what I went through, but hoped everything'd turn out right

I'm remembering the days that I was holding my head down

When people came around, I always pretended to smile

But I knew deep in my heart

That I was slowly falling 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...

[Chorus]

And I've been living my life for quite some time (Living my life)

And I'm so glad I made it this far (Oh)

And nothing gonna bring me back down (bring me back down)

And nothing gonna turn me around (Turn me around)

And I been living my life for quite some time

And I'm so glad (so glad) I made it this far

And nothing gonna bring me back down

And nothing gonna turn me around

[Verse 2]

Don't want nobody to think it was easy for me

It took a while just to get down and 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 okay

But I knew that if I prayed

That I would be on my way someday

Sometimes, 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...

[Chorus]

And I've been living my life for quite some time

And I'm so glad I made it this far (Yeah)

And nothing gonna bring me back down (Bring me back down)

And nothing gonna turn me around (Turn me around)

And I been living my life for quite some time (Oh)

And I'm so glad (so glad) I made it this far

And nothing gonna bring me back down

And nothing gonna turn me around

[Bridge]

All 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

[Chorus]

And I've been living my life for quite some time

And I'm so glad I made it this far (So glad)

And nothing gonna bring me back down (Nothing)

And nothing gonna turn me around

And I been living my life for quite some time

And I'm so glad I made it this far (Yeah, yeah)

And nothing gonna bring me back down (Bring me back down)

And nothing gonna turn me around (Turn me around)
