Ashanti - Living My Life Lyrics

I'm so happy that I'm livin' my life
I never knew what I went through
But hoped everything turned out right
I'm rememberin' the days
That I was holdin' my head down
When people came around
And always pretended to smile

But I knew deep in my heart,
That I was slowly fallin' apart
Something, is 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

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

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

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 rememeberin' 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 is 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

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

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

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 happy
Baby, baby, babe
Said I'm so happy
Baby, baby, babe

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

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