Lyrics

NEVER GONNA KNOCK THIS GIRL DOWN

She was a headstrong, never wrong, play along girl of sixteen
And she thought she loved him
'Til he took to travelin'
When their baby came on the scene
She was on her own, disowned and postponed the rest of her life
But she had a reason
A little girl to believe in
But the rumors still cut like a knife
She made up her mind no matter what they'd say
That baby girl and her were gonna make it some way

(Chorus)
(And she said) You can push me ?round, put me down,
Spread your rumors over town
But you?re Never Gonna Knock This Girl Down
Never Gonna Knock This Girl Down.

Her baby grew, rent was due, and she came through on nothing but pride
They faced all their hardships
Betrayels and pink slips
And they faced them standing side by side
They were steadfast, made to last, and moved past the hurt every time
The first to condemn them
Her family stood with them
When they saw how far those two kids had climbed
The little girl grew to stand just as strong as her mom
She knew a love that could be depended upon

( Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)
Fighting hard comes easy when there?s something to prove
Easier still when there?s someone there to help you get through

She made up her mind no matter what they'd say
That baby girl and her were gonna make it some way

(Repeat Chorus)

Never Gonna Knock This Girl Down
