Everything is not okay
But I’m okay with everything
I’ll get on just fine if you will
Let me do my thing
I’ll get on just fine
But there’s a cost that “just fine” brings
I’ll still speak my mind regardless of any strings
Just stand there and look real pretty
When the curtain goes up just sing
They threw me in
(To see if I could swim)
To see if I could swim
(That’s how I learned to be me)
Didn’t have a hand to reach out and grab
(To pull me from the insanity)
To pull me from the insanity
I was raised to stand up straight
And conquer and control
I was in the spotlight baby
18 years old
I was in the spotlight to tap dance
For the gold
There was no stopping me from
The time we hit the road
Just wear what they tell you to
Just do what you’re told
They threw me in
(To see if I could swim)
To see if I could swim
(That’s how I learned to be me)
Didn’t have a hand to reach out and grab
(To pull me from the insanity)
To pull me from the insanity
(Don’t forget to smile Wy)
(Don’t forget to smile)
(Don’t forget to smile Wy)
(Don’t forget to smile)
I tried to be the good girl, tried to be
What they wanted me to be
I did my part to go and best to be what I was to be
I’ll get on just fine
But there’s a cost that “just fine” brings
I’ll still speak my mind regardless of any strings
Hey just stand there and look real pretty
When the curtain goes up just sing
I was just raised to stand up straight and conquer
(Don’t forget to smile Wy)
And control
(Don’t forget to smile)
I was in the spotlight
At just 18 years old
