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 yeah 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
I ' ve been down on my knees beggin ' the lord
The devil ' s been knocking at my door
I ' ve been in the dark but I ' ve always found the light
I ' ve been up and down this road before
I keep on coming back for more
And I still haven ' t figured a damn thing out about life
I ' ve lived and learned and I ' ve been burned but it ' s all a part of me
I ' ve got bars around my heart but I still believe
There ' s someone out there with a key
I still dream and I won ' t give up the fight
And who knows if I ' ll ever get it right
I ' ve been down on my knees beggin ' the lord
The devil ' s been knocking at my door
I ' ve been in the dark but I ' ve always found the light
I ' ve been up and down this road before
I keep on coming back for more
And I still haven ' t figured a damn thing out about life
What goes up don ' t always come back down
What goes around don ' t always come around
I ' m gonna keep on keeping on
I ' ve been down on my knees beggin ' the lord
The devil ' s been knocking at my door
I ' ve been in the dark but I ' ve always found the light
I ' ve been up and down this road before
I keep on coming back for more
And I still haven ' t figured a damn thing out about life
And I still haven ' t figured a damn thing out about life
