If I had one chance to   Begin my life again   I wouldn't make no changes   Now or way back when, yeah      And if everything turns out   The way I hope it goes   But I can't wait to find out   What it is that God knows      But I don't wanna think about   What's gonna come around for me   I'll just take it day by day   'Cause it's the only way   To be the best that I can be      I never pretend to be something I'm not   You get what you see when you see what I got   We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl   I know exactly where I stand      And all I can do is be true to myself   I don't need permission from nobody else   'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl   I know exactly who I am      And nothing's ever perfect   There's no guarantee   And if I knew the answers   It would put my mind at ease      So I'll just keep on going   The way I've gone so far   And maybe I'll end up   Tryin' to catch a fallin' star, yeah      But I don't wanna think about   What's gonna come around for me   I'll just take it day by day   'Cause it's the only way   To be the best that I can be      I never pretend to be something I'm not   You get what you see when you see what I got   We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl   I know exactly where I stand      And all I can do is be true to myself   I don't need permission from nobody else   'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl   I know exactly who I am      Baby this is who I am   Don't need you to understand   'Cause everything is right where it should be   And it won't be long 'til you know about me      'Cause I don't give a *uck   Even when I'm out on luck   'Cause everything is just how it should be   And it won't be long 'til you know about me      I never pretend to be something I'm not   You get what you see when you see what I got   We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl   I know exactly where I stand      And all I can do is be true to myself   I don't need permission from nobody else   'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl   I know exactly who I am      I never pretend to be something I'm not   You get what you see when you see what I got   We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl   I know exactly where I stand      And all I can do is be true to myself   I don't need permission from nobody else   'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl   I know exactly who I am   I know exactly who I am
