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 ableNow 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 ableNow I'm standing up for the first time in my life I'm standing up, now I'm ready for love
