I Ain’t Goin’ Down Lyrics
Shania Twain
Im gonna hold on--
cause what I believe in is so strong
No matter how long, no one
Can tell me Im wrong--i aint goin down
I had a baby at fifteen--
Daddy never did forgive me
I never heard from the guy again
I had to drop outta high school--
Everybody treated me so cruel
But I didnt give in and giver her away
[repeat chorus]
Her smile got me through the day--
And every night Id pray
I could give her enough
At night Id lie awake and cry--
Hopin wed get by
cause you cant live on love
I worked night and day to keep us goin
Through the sweat and tears
Without her knowin
It was worth it just to watch her grow
Oh, oh, at least I was able to hold her
Whenever she needed my shoulder
Im so glad I never let her go
[repeat chorus]
Her smile got me through the years--
Dried away the tears
And filled me with hope
At night Id lie awake and cry--
Prayed we would get by
And for the courage to cope
Oh, oh, oh
[instrumental solo]
Her smile got me through the day--
And every night Id pray
I could give her enough
[repeat chorus (2x)]
No on can tell me Im wrong
I aint goin down
