You thought that I'd be broke without ya,

You thought that I'd be sad without ya, 
I laugh harder
You thought I wouldn't grow without ya,

You thought that I'd be helpless without ya,
but I'm smarter
You thought that I'd be stressed without ya, 
but I'm chillin'
You thought I wouldn't sell without ya,
sold 9 million

You thought I couldn't see without ya, 
perfect vision
You thought I couldn't last without ya,
but I'm lastin'
You thought that I would die without ya,
but I'm livin'
Thought that I would fail without ya, 
but I'm on top
Thought that it would be over by now,
but it won't stop
Thought that I would self destruct,
but I'm still here
Even in my years to come, 
I'm still gonna be here

I'm a survivor (what), 
I'm not gonna give up (what)
I'm not gon' stop (what), 
I'm gonna work harder (what)
I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it
(what)

I'm wishin' you the best,
pray that you are blessed
Much success, no stress, and lots of
happiness
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna blast you on the radio 
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna lie on you or yo family, yo
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna hate on you in the magazine
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna compromise my christianity
(I'm better than that)
You know I'm not gonna diss you on the
internet
('Cause my mama taught me better than that)

I'm a survivor (what), 
I'm not gonna give up (what)
I'm not gon' stop (what), 
I'm gonna work harder (what)
I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it
(what)

After all of the darkness and sadness, 
soon comes happiness
If I surround myself with positive things,
I'll gain posterity

While we scat some jazz

Remember the first day when I saw your face
remember the first day when you smiled at me
you stepped to me and you said to me
I was the woman you dreamed about
remember the first day when you called my house
remember the first day when you took me out
we had butterflies although we tried to hide
and we both had a beautiful night

The way we held each others hand 
the way we talked the way we laughed
it felt so good to find true love
I knew right then and there you were the one

I know that he loves me cause he told me so
I know that he loves me cause his feelings show
when he stares at me you know that he cares for me
you see how he is so deep in love
I know that he loves me cause its obvious
I know that he loves me cause it's me he trusts
and he's missing me if he's not kissing me
and when he looks at me his brown eyes tells his soul

Remember the first day, the first day we kissed
remember the first day we had an argument 
we apologized and then we compromised 
and we haven't argued since
remember the first day we stopped playing games
remember the first day you fell in love with me
it felt so good for you to say those words 
cause I felt the same way too

The way we held each others hand
the way we talked the way we laughed
it felt so good to fall in love
and I knew right then and there you were the one

I know that he loves me cause he told me so
I know that he loves me cause his feelings show
when he stares at me you know that he cares for me
you see how he is so deep in love
I know that he loves me cause its obvious
I know that he loves me cause it's me he trusts
and he's missing me if he's not kissing me
and when he looks at me his brown eyes tells his soul

i'm so happy so happy that you're in my life
and baby now that you're a part of me
you showed me 
showed me the meaning of true love
and i know he loves me

I know that he loves me cause he told me so
I know that he loves me cause his feelings show
when he stares at me you know that he cares for me
you see how he is so deep in love
I know that he loves me cause its obvious
I know that he loves me cause it's me he trusts
and he's missing me if he's not kissing me
and when he looks at me his brown eyes tells his soul

He looks at me and his brown eyes tell his soul

I woke up this morning,
The sunshine was shining
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able,
]I'm breathing, I'm grateful
To put on my happy face

Woke up and realised
This world's not
So bad after all
Looked at it through
A child's eyes, and
I saw these beautiful
Things that you
Never think about
Like the ocean, moonlight,
Stars and clouds
It's amazing how
We don't appreciate
Our blessings
There's plenty of people
Who don't like me
But since there are more
Who love me and
I love myself
Sometimes, it gets tough,
It gets tough
But I can't give up,
Can't give up
Just take a deep breath,
Close my eyes
Feel the love and
Give a smile

I woke up this morning,
The sunshine was shining
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able,

Uh, just be happy, uh,
Just be happy
Today is the day
I am willing to say
I will put all the
Past behind me,
No more enemies
Ready 'cause
