Lyrics
Once I was a young thing, tender age 16.
Believe it or not I was hot to trot and you know what I mean.
First chance love affair, threw out my underware got caught up in the mess of you found myself without a clue.
There I sat, all alone, by myself and waited for somebody to come along and help.
CHORUS
I'm stuck here on the ground
never get away if you hold me down
never stand tall if you never let me through to the other side.
1997 came, Chicago was where I moved my name.
College seemed like the logical choice,
but the shit they made me sing was wrong for my voice.
Packed my bags left Seton 4th floor,
no one was gonna hold me down no more.
I got in my car and I started to pray
then when I got home it would be my day.
CHORUS
Fighting with desire, fighting with the need.
Needing to be loved, needing leads to greed.
Learning from the fire, learning from the fight.
Brings me into daylight and chases out the night.
Big girl on her own,
will she have the balls to stand alone?
Will she struggle, will she fall?
Or will she make it through it all?
She's gonna win, she's gonna fight, she's gonna show them all that she's the one who's right.
This is her show, this her day so why don't you hear her say
CHORUS
Finally found my way to make it through to the other side!
Bye bye baby I'm leaving town.
