Song 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' down

I had a baby at fifteen
Daddy never did forgive me
I never heard from the guy again, oh
I had to drop outta high school
Everybody treated me so cruel
But I didn't give in and give her away

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' down

Her 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
Hoping we'd get by
'Cause you can't live on love

I worked night and day to keep us goin'
Through the sweat and tears without her knowing
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 go

Oh, 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' down

Her smile got me through the years
Dried away the tears
It filled me with hope
At night, I'd lie awake and cry
Prayed we would get by
And for the courage to go, oh

Her smile got me through the day
And every night, I'd pray
I could give her enough

I'm gonna hold on (hold on)
'Cause what I believe in is so strong (so strong)
No matter how long
No one (no one) can tell me I'm wrong
I ain't goin' down
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' down

No one can tell me I'm wrong
I ain't goin' down

Robert John Lange, Shania Twain
