I Ain't Goin' Down

I'm gonna hold on--'cause what I believe in is so strongNo matter how long, no oneCan tell me I'm wrong--I ain't goin' downI had a baby at fifteen--Daddy never did forgive meI never heard from the guy againI had to drop outta high school--Everybody treated me so cruelBut I didn't give in and giver her away[Repeat Chorus]Her smile got me through the day--And every night I'd prayI could give her enoughAt 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 goinThrough the sweat and tearsWithout her knowinIt was worth it just to watch her growOh, oh, at least I was able to hold herWhenever she needed my shoulderI'm so glad I never let her go[Repeat Chorus]Her smile got me through the years--Dried away the tearsAnd filled me with hopeAt night I'd lie awake and cry--Prayed we would get byAnd for the courage to copeOh, oh, oh[Instrumental solo]Her smile got me through the day--And every night I'd prayI could give her enough[Repeat Chorus (2x)]No on can tell me I'm wrongI ain't goin' down
