The Thing Called Love

I've been sitting on the bottom
I've been in a rut
Feels like this world's been steppin' on my soul
I've been dealing with problems
Like bills, lost love and such
But, I ain't gonna rot away in this hole
They say you never really lose if you don't quit
This ain't nothing but the blues
And I ain't gonna get whipped

('Cause I) I'm gonna get through this thing
(This thing called life)
I'm gonna really live my dreams until I die
A lot of prayers and a few good friends
And I'll be back on track again
No more time to break down and cry
('Cause I) I'm gonna get through this thing
This thing called life

It would really be easy to raise a white flag
When you work so hard and everything goes wrong
It's never fun, believe me
When you feel like you're a punching bag
And life knocks the breath right out of your song
You know you gotta keep dancing in your heart
Or you can lean on me
'Cause I ain't gonna be falling apart
