(s.kennedy/p.white)
i was born 3 months too early
the doctor gave me 30 days
but i must have had my mama's will
and god's amazing grace
i guess i'll keep on livin
even if this love's to die for
cuz your bags are packed
and i ain't cryin
your walkin out and i'm not tryin
to change your mind
cuz i was born to be
the baby girl without a chance
a victim of circumstance
the one who oughta give up
but she's just too hard headed
a single mom
who works 2 jobs
who loves her kids and never stops
with gentle hands
and the heart of a fighter
i'm a survivor
i don't believe in self pity
it only brings you down
may be the queen of broken hearts
but i don't hide behind the crown
when the deck is stacked against me
i just play a different game
my roots are planted in the past
and though my life is changing fast
who i am is who i wanna be
the baby girl without a chance
a victim of circumstance
the one who oughta give up
but she's just too hard headed
a single mom
who works 2 jobs
who loves her kids and never stops
with gentle hands
and the heart of a fighter
i'm a survivor
oh a single mom
who works 2 jobs
who loves her kids and never stops
with gentle hands
and the heart of a fighter
i'm a survivor
but i must have had my mama's will
and god's amazing grace
