If I had one chance to
Live my life again
I wouldn't make no changes
Now or way back then, yeah

And if everything turns out
The way I hope it goes
But I can't wait to find out
What it is that I know

But I don't wanna think about
What's gonna come 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 got what you see when you see what I got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl
I know exactly where I stand

And all I could do is be true 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

Nothing's ever perfect
There's no guarantee
And if I knew the answers
I would put my mind at ease and go

So I'll just keep on going
The way I've gone so far
And maybe I'll end up
Trying to catch a falling star, yeah

But I don't wanna think about
What's gonna come 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 got what you see when you see what I got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl
I know exactly where I stand

And all I could do is be true 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

Baby, this is who I am
I don't need you to understand
'Cause everything is right where it should be
It won't be long 'til you know about me

'Cause I don't give up
Even when I'm out of love
'Cause everything is just how it should be
And it won't be long 'til you know about me

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

And all I could do is be true 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

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

And all I could do is be true 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
