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
[Repeat 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
