Anastacia - Paid my dues

Spoken:
You can say what you want about me
Wanna do what you want to me
But you cannot stop me
I've been knocked down
It's a crazy town
Even got a punch in the face in LA
Ain't nothing in the world that you keep me from doin' what I wanna do

'Cause I'm too proud, I'm too strong
Life by the code that you gotta move on
Feeling sorry for yourself ain't got nobody nowhere

So I...
(Held my head high)
Knew I (knew I'd survive)
Well I made it (I made it)
I don't hate it (I don't hate it)
That's just the way it goes
Yeah
So I'm done, made it through
Stand on my own two
I paid my dues
Yeah
Tried to hold me down
You can't stop me now
I paid my dues

Spoken
So right back on
You cannot stop me
I paid my dues

Now I'm still tested every day
And people try to mess with Anastacia
Gotta nothing in common
'Cause I handle mine
And I thought I better let you know

I'm no punk I can't get down
I don't give a damn about who's around
That was just fine 'til now

So I...
(Held my head high)
Knew I (knew I'd survive)
Well I made it (I made it)
Whooo ooh oh(I don't hate it)
That's just the way it goes
Yeha
Ooh ooh (So I'm done, made it through)
Stand on my own two
I paid my dues
Yeah yeah
Tried to hold me down
You can't stop me now
I paid my dues

Yeah yeah yeah

Took so long to get me here
But I won't live in fear
You try to steal my shine
At first they wanna build you up
But then they tear you down
It's a struggle, try to follow

So I...
(Held my head high)
Knew I (Knew I survive)
Oahh (I made it)
(Don't hate it)
Said that's just the wayyyyy

(I'm done made it through)
(Stand on my own two)
I said I paid my, I paid my dues
Yeahhhhh
(Tried to hold me down)
But you can't stop me now (You can't stop me now)
(I paid my dues) I paid my, paid my dues
(I'm done made it through) ooooooooh oah
(Stand on my own two) oooooh oah
(I paid my dues) I paid my, I paid my dues
yeahh
(Tried to hold me down)
But you can't stop me now (You can't stop me now)
(I paid my dues) I paid my dues
