Ashanti Living My Life Lyrics

"Living My Life?

(Intro: Harmony)
Oooh, la, la, la, la, la, la...
Mmmm, hey, yeah, no, no, no...
Mmmm, oh, no...
Hmmm...

(Verse 1)
Oooh, I'm so happy that I'm livin' my life.
I never knew what I went through,
But hoped everything'd turn out right.
I'm rememberin' the days that I was holdin' my head down,
When people came around I always pretended to smile.
But I knew deep in my heart, that I was slowly fallin' apart.
Some days all I wanted was to hold my mother's hand
And hear her say, "Baby...You're gonna make it.?
Over and over again,
So I...

(Chorus)
And I been livin' my life for quite some time (livin' my life)
And I'm, so glad I made it this far (ohhhh!),
And nothin' gonna bring me back down,
And nothin' gonna turn me around (turn me around).

(Chorus)
And I been livin' my life for quite some time
And I'm, so glad I made it this far (so glad),
And nothin' gonna bring me back down,
And nothin' gonna turn me around.

(Verse 2)
Don't want no body to think it was easy for me.
It took a while just to get down,
But too many people just didn't believe.
I'm rememberin' the sacrifices that I had to make;
I would cry myself to sleep and say "that it would be ok.?
But I knew that if I prayed,
That I would be on my way someday.
Sometimes, all I wanted, was to hear my father say,
He would say, "Baby... yah gonna make it,
And I don't care what people say.?
So I'm...

(Chorus)
And I been livin' my life for quite some time
And I'm, so glad (ay-ay!) I made it this far (yeah-yeah),
And nothin' gonna bring me back down (bring me back down),
And nothin' gonna turn me around (turn me around).

(Chorus)
And I been livin' my life for quite some time (mmm-mm-mmm)
And I'm, so glad I made it this far,
And nothin' gonna bring me back down (mmm-mm, no),
And nothin' gonna turn me around (turn me around).

(Verse 3)
Ohh, I want the world to see everything that's happened to me.
I went from goin' out my mind, to always on time.
And I am no longer a fool, since my days are cold without you.
And I'm so (I'm so), happy (happy), baby, baby, babe.
Said I'm so (I'm so), happy (happy)...
Baby, baby, babe!

(Chorus)
And I been livin' my life for quite some time
And I'm, so glad I made it this far (soo glad!),
And nothin' gonna bring me back down (nothing!),
And nothin' gonna turn me around (and ohhh-hoo-ohhh!).

(Chorus)
And I been livin' my life for quite some time
And I'm, so glad I made it this far (yeah, yeah!),
And nothin' gonna bring me back down (bring me back down!),
And nothin' gonna turn me around (turn me around!).
