I don't give a damn what the world says
Didn't give a damn what he said
Don't give a damn what the world says
I'm gonna do what I was born to do
Gonna keep me from loving you
Nobody'd ever be good enough for his little girl
Got a long road, mountains up ahead
I'm gonna do what I was born to do
Gonna keep me from loving you
We did some growin' up
Life's thrown it all at us but here we stand
No turnin', no runnin', nobody, no nothin's
Your daddy hated me, 'cause you were into me
Had a fast car, had a hard head
Watched some friends give up
No cold stare, no cursin', nobody, no nothin's
You made A's and B's, I was C's and D's
I was gonna do, what I was born to do
Yeah, how could we have known how hard it'd be
No turnin', no runnin', nobody, no nothin's
Just tryin' to stay in love, I thought I'd be tough
Got a long road, mountains up ahead
Looks like your daddy was the easy part
Gonna keep me from loving you
