Shania Twain

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
I had a baby at fifteen
Daddy never did forgive me
I never heard from the guy again, oh
I had to drop outta high school
Everybody treated me so cruel
But I didn't give in and give her away

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Her smile got me through the day
And every night I'd pray
I could give her enough
At night, I'd lie awakе and cry
Hoping we'd get by
'Cause you can't livе on love

[Verse 2]
I worked night and day to keep us goin'
Through the sweat and tears without her knowing
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

[Chorus]
Oh, 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

[Bridge 2]
Her smile got me through the years
Dried away the tears
It filled me with hope
At night, I'd lie awake and cry
Prayed we would get by
And for the courage to go, oh

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Her smile got me through the day
And every night, I'd pray
I could give her enough

[Chorus]
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'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

[Outro]
No one can tell me I'm wrong
I ain't goin' down

Sometimes referred to as the “queen of country pop,” Shania Twain is the best selling female artist in the history of country music, having sold 85 million+ records. She is the first and only female music artist to have three albums in a row certified Diamond by the RIAA.

Shania Twain retired from performing in 2009, citing a weakening singing voice, later consulting specialists who diagnosed her with dysphonia, likely a result of lyme disease. She returned to the stage in her show Still the One in 2012, and begun touring again in 2015.

In October 2016 she told Rolling Stone she had new music coming “really soon” which followed her plans to release her fifth studio album when she was 50.
