Paid My Dues

I've Been Knocked Down
It's A Crazy Town
Even Got A Punch In The Face In La
Ain't Nothing In The World
That You Keep Me From Doing
What I Wanna Do...

Every Day
People Try To Mess With Anastacia
Gotta Nothing In Common
Cause I Handle Mine
And I Thought I Better

But I Won't Live In Fear

But First They Wanna Build You Up
Then They Tear You Down
It's A Struggle
