I Always Knew lyrics

[Verse 1]
I always knew I would one day be here
But I couldn't be a puppet on a string
I've had my fights, often I've been KO'd
But I've got back up, no, I won't give in

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And now I know how it works
If you're too nice, you lose

[Chorus 1]
I'm gonna make it to the top, well, let me show you
And if I've got to toughen up, then that is what I'll do
But don't paint me a monster, baby, you'd be crazy, that's for sure
Becoming a b*tch is not what I got into music for

[Verse 2]
Remember back to a bench in Wales
Where two young boys started mocking me
I looked at them, thought, "I'll show you one day"
But I didn't fight or stand up for me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And that young girl's learned the hard way
If you're too nice, you lose
[Chorus]
I'm gonna make it to the top, well, let me show you
And if I've got to toughen up, then that is what I'll do
But don't paint me a monster, baby, you'd be crazy, that's for sure
Becoming a b*tch is not what I got into music for

[Bridge]
I'll make it crystal clear (Clear)
That I am not going anywhere
As long as there is music, I'll be here, here, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus 1]
I'm gonna make it to the top, well, let me show you (Show you)
And if I've got to toughen up, then that is what I'll do
But don't paint me a monster, baby, you'd be crazy, that's for sure (That's for sure)
Becoming a b*tch is not what I got into music for

[Chorus 2]
I'm gonna make it to the top, well, let me show you
And if I've got to toughen up then that is what I'll do
I've sold you a million, baby, not just maybe, that's for sure (That's for sure)
Given the chance, I'll show you I can sell a million more
