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 give her away
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
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
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 give her away
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
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
