Take a look at me, now what do you see?
What do I look like to you?
Pretty lil' girl in a pretty big world
Like I'm not sure what to do, ahh
I bet you think that I'm some kind of fool (some kind of fool)
Who's never had to stand my ground or state my case
That's just because I'm always playin' it cool
You don't know nothin'
I'll tell you one thin'
I've been up, I've been down
I've been kicked all around
It only made me stronger, ahh
Now I'm back on my feet
Once again, I'll walk these streets
No, I'm not goin' under
(Ahh-)
I've played and I've paid, I've been scared and afraid
I've learned me a lesson or two
I've dealt with it all, never asked for no help
So why should I listen to you? Ahh
I've had to turn around and face all my fears (face all my fears)
And boy, it opened up my eyes and now I see
I'm so much stronger than I thought I could be
Don't wanna shout it (no!)
Won't brag about it, but
I've been up, I've been down
I've been kicked all around
It only made me stronger, ahh
Now I'm back on my feet
Once again, I'll walk these streets
No, I'm not goin' under
Now, if there's one thing that I know for sure
Nobody's gonna drag me down no more
I may be living in a dream
Where nothing's as it seems
Nobody's gonna drag me down no more
(I've been up, I've been down)
(It only made me stronger)
Uh ah ohh-ah
(Now I'm back on my feet)
(No, I'm not goin' under)
Ooh uh-ahh
I've been up, I've been down
I've been kicked all around
It only made me stronger, ahh
Now I'm back on my feet
Once again, I'll walk these streets
No, I'm not goin' under
(Ahh-)
