I Ain't Goin' Down - Red Version

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

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

Her smile got me through the day--

And every night I'd pray

I could give her enough

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'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

No on can tell me I'm wrong

I ain't goin' down
