Everybody says, "Don't lose your head
You gotta keep that pretty smile upon your face"
Well I did that for a while 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
Yeah a deep down low makes level feel so high
