Lyrics Shania Twain – I Ain’t Goin’ Down

I’m gonna hold on—
’cause what I believe in is so strong
No matter how long, no one
Can tell me I’m wrong—I ain’t goin’ down

I had a baby at fifteen—
daddy never did forgive me
I never heard from the guy again
I had to drop outta high school—
everybody treated me so cruel
But I didn’t give in and giver her away

Repeat Chorus

Her smile got me through the day—
and every night I’d pray
I could give her enough
At night I’d lie awake and cry—
hopin’ we’d get by
‘Cause you can’t live on love

I worked night and day to keep us goin’
Through the sweat and tears
without her knowin’
It was worth it just to watch her grow
Oh, oh, at least I was able to hold her
Whenever she needed my shoulder
I’m so glad I never let her go

Repeat Chorus

Her smile got me through the years—
dried away the tears
And filled me with hope
At night I’d lie awake and cry—
prayed we would get by

Instrumental solo

Her smile got me through the day—
and every night I’d pray
I could give her enough

Repeat Chorus (2x)

No on can tell me I’m wrong
I ain’t goin’ down
