If I had one chance to 
In my life again 
I wouldn't make no changes 
Now or way back when (yeah) 
And if everything turns out 
The way I hope it goes 
But I cant wait to find out 
What it is that God knows 

But I don't wanna think about 
What's [bad word] around for me 
I'll just take it day by day 
'Cause it's the only way 
To be the best that I can be 

I never pretend to be something I'm not 
You get what you see, when you see what I've got 
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl 
I know exactly where I stand 

And all I can do is be [bad word] to myself 
I don't need permission from nobody else 
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl 
I know exactly who I am 

And nothing's ever perfect 
There's no guarantee 
And if I knew the answers 
It would put my mind at ease (no) 
So I'll just keep on going 
The way I've gone so far 
And maybe I'll end up 
Tryin' to catch a fallin star (yeah) 

But I don't wanna think about 
What's [bad word] around for me 
I'll just take it day by day

Baby this is who I am 
Don't need you to understand 
'Cause everything is right where it should be 
It wont be long til you know about me, 
'Cause I don't give a... 
Even when I'm out of love 
'Cause everythings just how it should be 
And it wont be long till you know about me
