Kick me when I'm down, but then wait to see if I'll hang around Like a punching bag, bouncing back from blows Where I've been hit, nobody knows, I'll Hide the pain, like the ground soaking in the rain I'm a bounce back from heartache, come back kid The one you hurt, but wish you never did, Ha You can't see through muddy water But I've done what I oughtta Didn't lash out, just took the trash out Oh I'm gonna kill em with kindness, don't let my sass out I'm a lady to my bones, gonna take this world all on my own You know, grace and class, you couldn't have bought her But I learned to see through muddy water Lessons dealt, only trust myself I've been deceived, crazy to believe Manners dress up even ugly fools Thought I knew it all, she took me to school, Ha You can't see through muddy water But I've done what I oughtta Didn't lash out, just took the trash out Oh I'm gonna kill em with kindness, don't let my sass out I'm a lady to my bones, gonna take this world all on my own You know, grace and class, you couldn't have bought her But I learned to see through muddy water
