I Ain't Goin Down in Shania Twain

Chorus:
I'm gonna hold on

'cause what I believe in

Is so strong
No matter how long, and 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
I had to drop outta high school

Everybody treated me so cruel
But I didn't give in and give her away

Chorus:
I'm gonna hold on

'cause what I believe in

Is so strong
No matter how long, and 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

Hopin' 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 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
I'm so glad I never let her go

Chorus:
I'm gonna hold on

'cause what I believe in

Is so strong
No matter how long, and no one
Can tell me I'm wrong

I ain't goin' down

Her smile got me through the years

Dried away the tears
And filled me with hope
At night I'd lie awake and cry

Prayed we would get by
And for the courage to cope
Oh, oh, oh

Instrumental solo

Her smile got me through the day

And every night I'd pray
I could give her enough

Chorus (2x):
I'm gonna hold on

'cause what I believe in

Is so strong
No matter how long, and 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
