Ever since I was a little girl you couldn’t dare tell me a thing
I was as stubborn as they come, I was such a drama queen
Thought I was right, yeah I could do no wrong

Some could’ve beens, a few dead ends, some bumps along the way
Some never should’ve been boyfriends that ended in heartache
But I still try to see the brighter side

What goes up don’t always come back down
What goes around don’t always come around

(Chorus:)
I’ve been down on my knees beggin’ the lord
The devil’s been knocking at my door
I’ve been in the dark but I’ve always found the light
I’ve been up and down this road before
I keep on coming back for more
And I still haven’t figured a damn thing out about life

I’ve lived and learned and I’ve been burned but it’s all a part of me
I’ve got bars around my heart, but I still believe
There’s someone out there with a key

I still dream and I won’t give up the fight
And who knows if I’ll ever get it right

(chorus)

What goes up don’t always come back down
What goes around don’t always come around
I’m gonna keep on keeping on

(chorus)
