Paid My Dues Songtext
von Anastacia

You can say what you want about me
Try to do what you want to me
But, you can not stop me!

I′ve been knocked down
It's a crazy town
Even got punched in the face in LA
Ain′t nothing in the world that can keep me from doing what I wanna do
'Cause I'm too proud, I′m too strong

Live by the code that you gotta move on
Feeling sorry for yourself
Ain′t got nobody nowhere
So I

(Held my head high)
Knew I (knew I'd survive)
Well, I made it (I made it)
Don′t hate it (don't hate it)
That′s just the way it goes
Yeah


I done made it through
Stand on my own two
I paid my dues, yeah

Tried to hold me down
You can't stop me now
I paid my dues
So, like I told you

You cannot stop me!
I paid my dues
Now I′m still tested every day
And people try to mess with Anastacia

Got another thing comin'
'Cause I have a mind
And I thought I better let you know
I′m no punk, I can get down
I don′t give a damn about who's around

That was just fine till now
So I
(Held my head high)


Knew I (knew I′d survive)
Well I made it (I made it)
Oahh (don't hate it)
That′s just the way it goes
Yeah

I done made it through
Stand on my own two
I paid my dues
Yeah, yeah
Tried to hold me down
You can't stop me now
I paid my dues, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Took so long to get me here

But, I won′t live in fear

You try to steal my shine
But, first they wanna build you up
Then they tear you down
It's a struggle, you try to bubble
So I
(Held my head high)

Knew I (knew I'd survive)
Oh (I made it)
Don′t hate it
Said that′s just the way
(I done made it through)
(Stand on my own two)

I said I paid my, I paid my dues
Yeah
Tried to hold me down
But, you can't stop me now (you can′t stop me now)
I paid my dues (I paid my, paid my dues)
I done made it through (whoa)
Stand on my own two (oh)
I paid my dues, I paid my (I paid my dues)
Yeah

Tried to hold me down
But, you can't stop me now (you can′t stop me now)
(I paid my dues) I paid my dues
