Tina Arena - Standing Up lyrics

There was a time I was not so certain

All the games I played just multiplied the hurtin'

Mixed emotions

Never knowing right from wrong

I kept it all inside

Pretending to be strong

I'm a woman, to myself I must be true

Finally I believe I know just what to do

I'm standin' up, willin' and I'm able

Now I'm standing up for the first time in my life

I'm standing up, now I'm ready for love

I was pushed around until I came to find

My insecurity was just a state of mind

Even though I only had myself to blame

Now I've learnt to trust my heart

And I'll never be the same

I'm a woman, but just like anybody else

I've got a lot to give, don't wanna keep it to myself

I'm standin' up, willin' and I'm able

Now I'm standing up for the first time in my life

I'm standing up, now I'm ready for love
