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 and 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 just a' beggin' the Lord The Devils been knocking at my door I've been in the dark but I've always found the light Oh, I've been up and down this road before I keep on coming back for more And I still haven't figured a dang thing out about life Ooh, about life I've lived and learned and I've been burned But it's all apart of me I've got bars around my heart But I still believe There's someone out there with the key But 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, keepin' on I've been in the dark but I've always found the light Oh, I've been up and down this road before I keep on coming back for more And I still haven't figured a dang thing out about life And I still haven't figured a dang thing out about life Ooh, about life
