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
I had to drop outta high school--
everybody treated me so cruel
But I didn\'t give in and giver her away
[Repeat Chorus]
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
[Repeat Chorus]
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
[Repeat Chorus (2x)]
No on can tell me I\'m wrong
I ain\'t goin\' down
