Im gonna hold on--
cause what I believe in is so strong
No matter how long, no one
Can tell me Im wrong--I aint goin down
I 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 didnt give in and giver her away
Her smile got me through the day--
and every night Id pray
I could give her enough
At night Id lie awake and cry--
hopin wed get by
Cause you cant live on love
I 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
Im so glad I never let her go
Her smile got me through the years--
dried away the tears
And filled me with hope
At night Id lie awake and cry--
prayed we would get by
And for the courage to cope
Oh, oh, oh
Her smile got me through the day--
and every night Id pray
I could give her enough
No on can tell me Im wrong
I aint goin down
