When I was a little girl
I believed with every dream
That there was always that one for somebody
That it would one day happen to me
I thought love was special meant to be shared by two
But now I've grown
And come to know
The meaning of "I love you"
To me, these words mean nothing
An empty background within
The more I see, it's pointless
A game where nobody wins
Now don't think I'm just talking
Or running off my mouth
For I am only speaking the truth
Of something I know all about
I once was the one who was innocent
Giving all the love she had
I would of died for this man
But instead, I cried for this man
And one day he left me so sad
From that day on , I promised
That no matter who did me wrong
I didn't need love to complete my life
I made an eternal vow to be strong
If guys can't see me for who I am
And the things I have to give
I know for a fact of the beauty I bear
The loving person within.
