Ever since I was a little girl   You couldn't dare tell me a thing   I was as stubborn as they come   I was such a drama queen   Thought I was right and I could do no wrong      Some could've been a few dead ends   Some bumps along the way   Some never should've been boyfriends   That ended in heartache   But I still try to see the brighter side      What goes up don't always come back down   What goes around don't always come around      I've been down on my knees just a beggin' the Lord   The Devil's been knocking at my door   I've been in the dark but I've always found the light      Oh, I've been up and down this road before   I keep on coming back for more   And I still haven't figured a dang thing out about life   Ooh, about life      I've lived and learned and I've been burned   But it's all apart of me   I've got bars around my heart but I still believe   There's someone out there with the key      But I still dream and I won't give up the fight   And who knows if I'll ever get it right      Down on my knees just a beggin' the Lord   The Devil's been knocking at my door   I've been in the dark but I've always found the light      Oh, I've been up and down this road before   I keep on coming back for more   And I still haven't figured a dang thing out about life   Ooh      What goes up don't always come back down   What goes around don't always come around   I'm gonna keep on keepin' on      I've been down on my knees just a beggin' the Lord   The Devil's been knocking at my door   I've been in the dark but I've always found the light      Oh no, I've been up and down this road before   I keep on coming back for more   And I still haven't figured a dang thing out about life   And I still haven't figured a dang thing out about life   Ooh, about life
