Tina Arena - Standing Up Lyrics

There was a time I was not so certain
All the games I played, just multiplied the hurtin'
Mixed emotions never knowing right from wrong

I kept it all inside pretending to be strong
I'm a woman, to myself I must be true
Finally I believe I know just what to do

I'm standin' up, willin' and I'm able
Now I'm standing up for the first time in my life
I'm standing up, now I'm ready for love

I was pushed around until I came to find
My insecurity was just a state of mind
Even though I only had myself to blame

Now I've learnt to trust my heart and I'll never be the same
I'm a woman but just like anybody else
I've got a lot to give, don't wanna keep it to myself

I'm standin' up, willin' and I'm able
Now I'm standing up for the first time in my life
I'm standing up, now I'm ready for love
