Salute

[Verse 1]

You say you wanna walk away

You ain't got nothing to say

I salute you, yeah

Go on, out the door

Now you take care

No more tears to shed

What, you expecting me to beg?

Well, I'm not, I'm done

So when you leave, just close the door behind you

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause, I'm feeling kind of taller than you, lately

I'm feeling kind of stronger than you, oh lately

I'm feeling kind of better than you

And I know just what to do

I feel like doing my hair (My hair)

I feel like calling some of my friends (Some of my girlfriends)

I feel like goin' to a club and partyin'

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm a soldier girl, in this world

I stand alone, I can be strong

I walked for miles, I made it home

It's good to know without you, I made it

Soldier girl, in my world

I took the fall, now I stand tall

From the pain and all, I made it through

And now all I gotta say to you

Salute, ay, ay

Salute, ay, ay

[Verse 2]

You think you know everything

And you think that your sh— don't stink

Well, it do, hey

And when it comes to me

You don't have a clue

Took me all these years

To realize that you don't belong here

I can do better

You say I'll never do better

Yeah right, whatever

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause, I'm feeling kind of taller than you, lately (Oh baby, lately)

I'm feeling kind of stronger than you, oh lately

I'm feeling kind of better than you

And I know just what to do

I feel like doing my hair (My hair)

I feel like calling some of my friends (My girlfriends)

I feel like goin' to a club (Do some partying)

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm a soldier girl (Solider girl), in this world (In this world)

I stand alone (Oh), I can be strong (Oh)

I walked for miles (Walked for miles)

I made it home (I made it home)

It's good to know without you, I made it

Soldier girl (Solider girl), in my world (In this world)

I took the fall (Yeah), now I stand tall (Uh-huh)

From the pain and all, I made it through

And now all I gotta say to you

Salute, ay, ay

I say salute, ay, ay

[Bridge: Whitney Houston]

Don't call it a comeback, no

I've been here for years, ha

Through all the drama and the pain

And all the tears

Time to stop this rollercoaster

Say I wanna get off

And start moving mountains, swimming seas

And climbing over walls

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm a soldier girl (Solider girl), in this world

I stand alone, I can be strong (Oh)

I walked for miles, I made it home (I salute you)

It's good to know without you, I made it (I salute you)

Soldier girl (Oh), in my world (Oh)

I took the fall (Soldier girl), now I stand tall

From the pain and all (Pain and all)

I made it through (I made it through)

And now all I gotta say to you

[Outro]

I salute you

I salute you

Salute, salute, salute

I salute you

Go on, take care

Go on out the door

Take care
