   Don't Ask
   Standing Up

   There was a time I was not so certain
   All the games I played just multiplied the hurtin'
   Mixed emotions
   Never knowing right from wrong
   I kept it all inside
   Pretending to be strong
   I'm a woman, to myself I must be true
   Finally I believe I know just what to do
  
   I'm standin' up, willin' and I'm able
   Now I'm standing up for the first time in my life
   I'm standing up, now I'm ready for love
  
   I was pushed around until I came to find
   My insecurity was just a state of mind
   Even though I only had myself to blame
   Now I've learnt to trust my heart
   And I'll never be the same
   I'm a woman, but just like anybody else
   I've got a lot to give, don't wanna keep it to myself
  
   I'm standin' up, willin' and I'm able
   Now I'm standing up for the first time in my life
   I'm standing up, now I'm ready for love
