Paid My Dues - Anastacia

Intro: 4 Takte
You can say what you want about me
try to do what you want to me
but you cannot stop me.
I´ve been knocked down
it´s a crazy town
even got punched in the face in L.A.
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
I knew I´d
I´d survive
well I made it
I made it
I don´t hate it
that´s just the way it goes.
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.
Instrumental: 4 Takte
Now I´m still tested every day
and people try to mess with Anastacia
got another thing coming
´cause I handle mine.
And I thought I better let you know
I´m no punk I can get down
I don´t give a damn
about whose around
that was just fine ´til now.
So I
held my head high
I knew I´d
I´d survive
well I made it
I made it
don´t hate it
that´s just the way it goes.
Oh 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.
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
a struggle you try to bubble.
So I
held my head high
I knew I´d survive
I made it
don´t hate it
that´s just the way it goes.
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.
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
