Hang On To Yourself lyrics

When I was a little girl
My mama used to say
Don't do this
Don't do that
Now go outside and play
Well here I am
About five years old
Just another girl
Dancing on the doorstep to the world

And that's where Cupid shoots
And Cupid fails
I'm not afraid to say
I'm seventeen
Right in between
But I know I'm on my way
The mirror tells me
You're so fine
You should be having fun
But I'm standing on the crossroads
Of my highway to the sun

I gotta go for it
I gotta do it myself
Ain't gonna get much help
From anybody else
And I do believe
It's what I really want
To hang on to myself baby
I hang on to myself
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/belle_perez/hang_on_to_yourself.html ]
Let me tell you
Today I'm still that little girl
I used to be back then
I don't give up
I won't give in
One day you'll understand
Here I am
I sing this song
Not just another girl
Standing on the threshold to your world

You gotta go for it
You gotta do it yourself
Ain't gonna get much help
From anybody else
So if you do believe
It's what you really want
Just hang on to yourself baby
Just hang on to yourself

Hello?
Some people say
One day baby you will see
Who is this?
You're gonna take that ride
For your destiny
It's your bubble girl
You better grab it while you can

You gotta go for it
You gotta do it yourself
Ain't gonna get much help
From anybody else
So if you do believe
It's what you really want
Just hang on to yourself baby
Just hang on to yourself
