Anastacia lyrics

Paid My Dues

Spoken:
You can say what you want about me
Wanna do what you want to me
But you can not stop me

I`ve been knocked down
It`s a crazy town
Even got punched in the face in LA
Ain`t nothing in the world that can keep me from doing what I wanna do

`Cause I`m too proud, I`m too strong
Life by the code that you gotta move on
Feel excited for yourself
and got nobody nowhere

so I...
(Held my head high)
I knew I (Knew I survive)
Well I made it (I made it)
Don`t hate it (Don`t hate it)
That`s just the way it goes
Yeah
Had to make 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

Spoken:
So like I told you
You cannot stop me
I paid my dues

Now I`m still trusted 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 whose around
That was just fine `til now

So I...
(Held my head high)
Knew I (Knew I survive)
Well I made it (I made it)
Oahh (Don`t hate it)
That`s just the way it goes
Yeah
Had to make 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 yeah

It took so long to get me here
But I won`t live in fear
Of you trying to steal my shine
But first they wanna build you up
Then they tear you down
It`s a struggle, you try to bubble

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

(Had to make 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 done made it through) oahhh
(Stand on my own two) oh
(I paid my dues) I paid my, I paid my dues
yeah yeah
(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
