Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a lover
'Cause I can't help myself
A natural mother
Since the day that I fell
Not a martyr
I'm just someone who cares
[Verse 2]
So dig a little bit deeper
And be a little bit kinder
And a lot less guarded
'Cause it takes, it takes
It takes a lot of hard work
To get a whole lot stronger
'Cause it's real tough girl
[Verse 3]
Why can't we be together?
Why can't we love for her?
[Verse 4]
Wish I could go back
And tell my younger self
You're a fighter
You just don't know it yet
[Verse 5]
So dig a little bit deeper
And be a whole lot louder
And a lot less guarded
'Cause it takes, it takes
It takes a lot of hard work
To get a whole lot stronger
'Cause it's real tough girl
[Verse 6]
Why can't we be together?
Why can't we love for her?
[Verse 7]
Stand up, show love
For her, for her
Stand up, show up
For her, for her
Stand up, show love
For her, for her
Stand up, show up
For her, for her
[Verse 8]
Why can't we be together?
Why can't we love for her?
[Verse 9]
So dig a little bit deeper
And be a whole lot kinder
And a lot less guarded
'Cause it takes, it takes
It takes a lot of hard work
To get a whole lot stronger
'Cause it's real tough girl
[Verse 10]
Stand up, show love
Stand up, show up
Stand up, show love
For her, for her
[Verse 11]
Stand up, show love
For her, for her
Stand up, show up
For her, for her
Oh, stand up
[Verse 12]
Oh, stand up for her
