I Ain't Goin' Down Lyrics

I'm gonna hold on
'Cause what I believe in is so strong
No matter how long
No one can tell me I'm wrong
I ain't goin' downI had a baby at fifteen, Daddy never did forgive me
I never heard from the guy again
I had to drop outta high school, everybody treated me so cruel
But I didn't give in and giver her awayI'm gonna hold on
'Cause what I believe in is so strong
No matter how long
No one can tell me I'm wrong
I ain't goin' downHer smile got me through the day and every night I'd pray
I could give her enough
At night I'd lie awake and cry, hopin' we'd get by
'Cause you can't live on loveI worked night and day to keep us goin'
Through the sweat and tears without her knowin'
It was worth it just to watch her grow
Oh, oh, at least I was able to hold her

Whenever she needed my shoulder
I'm so glad I never let her goI'm gonna hold on
'Cause what I believe in is so strong
No matter how long
No one can tell me I'm wrong
I ain't goin' downHer smile got me through the years
Dried away the tears and filled me with hope
At night I'd lie awake and cry, prayed we would get by
And for the courage to cope, oh, oh, ohHer smile got me through the day
Every night I'd pray I could give her enoughI'm gonna hold on
'Cause what I believe in is so strong
No matter how long
No one can tell me I'm wrong
I ain't goin' downI'm gonna hold on
'Cause what I believe in is so strong
No matter how long
No one can tell me I'm wrong
I ain't goin' downNo one can tell me I'm wrong
I ain't goin' down
