Jem - I Always Knew lyrics

I always knew I would one day be here
But, I couldn't be a puppet on a string
I've had my fights, often I've been KO'd
But, I've got back up, no, I won't give in

And now I know how it works
If you're too nice, you lose

I'm gonna make it to the top, well
Let me show you
And if I've got to toughen up
Then that is what I'll do
But don't paint me a monster
Baby, you'd be crazy, that's for sure
Becoming a bitch is not what
I got into music for

Remember back to a bench in Wales
Where two young boys started mocking me
I looked at them, thought
"I'll show you one day"
But, I didn't fight or stand up for me

And that young girl's learned the hard way
If you're too nice, you lose

I'm gonna make it to the top, well
Let me show you
And if I've got to toughen up
Then that is what I'll do
But don't paint me a monster
Baby, you'd be crazy, that's for sure
Becoming a bitch is not what
I got into music for

I'll make it crystal clear (Clear)
That I am not going anywhere
As long as there is music
I'll be here, here, oh oh oh

I'm gonna make it to the top, well
Let me show you (Show you)
And if I've got to toughen up
Then that is what I'll do
But don't paint me a monster
Baby, you'd be crazy, that's for sure
(That's for sure)
Becoming a bitch is not what
I got into music for

I'm gonna make it to the top, well
Let me show you
And if I've got to toughen up
Then that is what I'll do
I've sold you a million
Baby, not just maybe, that's for sure
(That's for sure) given the chance
I'll show you I can sell a million more
