You're Gtaking the fight unladylike, CIm not gonna stop
No I don't want to, And I dont need to
But no matter how hard it gets My mama always said
To keep your head up, your head up, your head up
Your head up, up, up, no matter what
Your head up, your head up, your head up, up, up, up, up
I've got all kinds of fantasies even romanticies
Of what to do when the time was right, right
You would beg me for mercy tell me you aint worthy
But boy i'd even make you cry, oh
It would be so easy now to make you feel so bad, so bad
But all Im gonna do is bite my lip and leave
it at that, at that, that, that
No I dont want to, And I dont need to
You're taking the fight unladylike, I'm not gonna stop
No I don't want to, And I dont need to
But no matter how hard it gets My mama always said
To keep your head up, your head up, your head up
Your head up, up, up, no matter what
Your head up, your head up, your head up, up, up, up, up
Ooohhhhhh, ooohhhh, ooohhhhhh
I really dont have the time
Cause your really no friend of mine
I really should have made you pay
No I dont want to, And I dont need to
You're taking the fight unladylike, Im not gonna stop
No I don't want to, And I dont need to
But no matter how hard it gets My mama always said
To keep your head up
No I dont want to, And I dont need to
You're taking the fight unladylike, Im not gonna stop
No I don't want to, And I dont need to
But no matter how hard it gets My mama always said
To keep your head up, your head up, your head up
Your head up, up, up no matter what
Your head up, your head up, your head up, up, up, up, up
