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 have got to toughen up then that is what I’ll do
But don’t make 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 learnt 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 have got to toughen up then that is what I’ll do
But don’t make 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
I am not going anywhere
As long as there is music
I’ll be here, here

I’m gonna make it to the top well let me show you
And if I have got to toughen up then that is what I’ll do
But don’t make me a monster baby you’d be crazy 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 have 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
Given the chance I’ll show you I can sell a zillion more
