"living my life"

(Intro: harmony)
Oooh, la, la, la, la, la, la…
Mmmm, hey, yeah, no, no, no…
Mmmm, oh, no…
Hmmm…

(Verse 1)
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…

(Chorus)
And I been livin' my life for quite some time (livin' my life)
And i'm, so glad I made it this far (ohhhh!)
And nothin' gonna bring me back down
And nothin' gonna turn me around (turn me around)

(Chorus)
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

(Verse 2)
Don't want no body to think it was easy for me
It took a while just to get down
But too many people just didn't believe
I'm rememberin' 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
Sometimes, all I wanted, was to hear my father say
He would say, "baby... yah gonna make it
And I don't care what people say."
So i'm…

(Chorus)
And I been livin' my life for quite some time
And i'm, so glad (ay-ay!) 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)

(Chorus)
And I been livin' my life for quite some time (mmm-mm-mmm)
And i'm, so glad I made it this far
And nothin' gonna bring me back down (mmm-mm, no)
And nothin' gonna turn me around (turn me around)

(Verse 3)
Ohh, 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 been livin' my life for quite some time
And i'm, so glad I made it this far (soo glad!)
And nothin' gonna bring me back down (nothing!)
And nothin' gonna turn me around (and ohhh-hoo-ohhh!)

(Chorus)
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!)
