Do you like the way it feels when you get hurt?
Maybe you should take a long hard look at your self worth
There's an emptiness inside; it started many years ago
You always try to fill it up; it's a familiar place you go

One day you'll just have to wake up GIRL!

(chorus)
You know you got a lot to learn
You've got to do it for yourself
Find your own direction, don't rely on someone else
You gotta know it in your heart
You gotta build it up with love
It isn't hard to rise above
Wake up, you don't wanna make up
You've got to do it for yourself

I know it feels sometimes that loneliness is worse
And with every change there comes a melancholy search
Now you can walk away from this
It doesn't have to bring you down
Have faith in destiny
You know what goes around, comes around
You don't have to stay and take it GIRL!

Got nowhere to run, got nowhere to hide
These changes will come if you just open your eyes
Got nowhere to run, got nowhere to hide

You gotta do it for yourself
You gotta know it in your heart
It isn't hard to rise above
