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 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 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 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


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 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 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 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

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

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 true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else

'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl
