I Always Knew

I always knew I would one day be here
But I couldn’t be a puppet on a string
I’ve had my fights, often I’ve been KO’d
But I’ve got back up, no, I won’t give in
And now I know how it works
If you’re too nice, you lose
I’m gonna make it to the top, well, let me show you
And if I’ve got to toughen up, then that is what I’ll do
Don’t paint me a monster, baby
You’d be crazy, that’s for sure
Becoming a bitch is not what I got into music for
I remember back to a bench in Wales
Where two young boys started mocking me
I looked at them, thought, «I'll show you one day»
But I didn’t fight or stand up for me
And that young girl’s learned the hard way
If you’re too nice, you lose
I’m gonna make it to the top, well, let me show you
And if I’ve got to toughen up, then that is what I’ll do
Don’t paint me a monster, baby
You’d be crazy, that’s for sure
Becoming a bitch is not what I got into music for
I’ll make it crystal clear
That I am not going anywhere
As long as there is music, I’ll be here, here, oh oh oh
I’m gonna make it to the top, well, let me show you
And if I’ve got to toughen up, then that is what I’ll do
Don’t paint me a monster, baby
You’d be crazy, that’s for sure
Becoming a bitch is not what I got into music for
I’m gonna make it to the top, well, let me show you
And if I’ve got to toughen up then that is what I’ll do
I’ve sold you a million, baby
Not just maybe, that’s for sure
Given the chance, I’ll show you I can sell a million more
