I Ain't Been Licked Lyrics - Diana Ross

Roll down the gangway 

So they'll see that it's me 

I know they'll wonder about my recovery 

Yes, I lost a love that promised happiness 

What my heart wouldn't accept 

Put me to the test 

They keep a holding me down 

But I rise 

Yes it can be done 

They keep a holding me down 

But I rise 

They can't make me run

Keep a holding me down 

But I rise 

Got my second wind 

Keep a holding me down 

But I rise 

Tell 'em I'm back again 

Just say 

I ain't been licked 

I ain't been licked 

I ain't been licked 

Tell 'em for me 

I ain't been licked 

Like outa nowhere my whole world fell apart 

Till this day no one knows 

What I felt in my heart 

All those precious things 

Inside me tried to still 

Hands I thought would help 

Pushed me over the hill

Keep a holding me down 

But I rise 

Yes, it can be done 

Keep a holding me down 

But I rise 

They can't make me run 

Keep a holding me down 

But I rise 

Got my second wind 

Keep a holding me down 

But I rise 

Tell 'em I'm back again 

Just say 

I ain't been licked 

I ain't been licked 

I ain't been licked 

Tell 'em for me 

I ain't been licked 

Keep a holding me down 

But I rise 

Just to start again 

Rise 

Show 'em that I can 

Rise 

Found a brand new dream 

Rise 

Just to prove one thing 

Just say 

I ain't been licked 

I ain't been licked 

I ain't been licked 

Tell 'em for me 

I ain't been licked 

I want the world to see 

I ain't been licked 

Although my love is gone 

I ain't been licked 

Somehow I carry one 

I ain't been licked 

I'll find the strength somehow 

I ain't been licked 

I think I'm ready now 

I ain't been licked 

I ain't been licked 

I ain't been licked 

I ain't been licked
