Lyrics

My daddy left me before I was born
He never comes around here
I dont see him no more
moved out from momas a little too soon
married by 15, I was pregnant by June
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
My first husband was always running around
His mouth and fist nearly put me in the ground
The second man, he was just as bad lord
I stayed a little longer, cause that's all I had

Chorus
I'm taking one day at time
It's all I can do to keep from loosing my mind
I'm taking one day at time
gotta keep living till I finally get it right

My best friend told me Im all I've got
Can't trust a man to give you what you want
SHe says you gotta go out and make the best of what you can
you gotta do something, you gotta finally make a stand

Four husbands later and three kids by my side
I think I finally get it, I'm finally finding peace of mind
Can't blame a soul for all the hell that I've lived
but I can promise myself I'll never live it again

Chorus
