(chely wright)



Everybody says don't lose your head

You gotta keep that pretty smile upon your face

Well i did that for awhile but it just was not my style

I kept endin' up in that forbidden place

I'm a happy woman but when i get knocked to the ground

I invite the blues to come around



So don't be afraid to cry get down as far as you can go

Let the river rage on by and the wind blow

If you pay your dues in darkness

You'll appreciate the light

'cause a deep down low makes level feel so high



I put on the saddest song ignore the telephone

I go ahead and cry the make-up from my eyes

I let my mind play tricks and then

I let it fool me once again

Into thinkin' that i'll never be alright

Then when i'm no longer crazy and i'm back to my old self

I realize how good i've always felt



So don't be afraid to cry get down as far as you can go

Let the river rage on by and the wind blow

If you pay your dues in darkness

You'll appreciate the light

'cause a deep down low makes level feel so high



Let yourself go under

Touch the bottom of the pool

Ain't it strange and don't you wonder

How you always come back up and it's so cool



So don't be afraid to cry get down as far as you can go

Let the river rage on by and the wind blow

If you pay your dues in darkness

You'll appreciate the light

'cause a deep down low makes level feel so high
