Reaching for my dreams
And you're so quick to say what I can't do
You criticize my actions
But I don't see you standing in my shoes
I'm 'going the wrong way'
I'm 'doing the wrong things'
Every word just gives me fuel
So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on and

Chorus:
Tell me no
And I'll show you I can
Tell me no
I'll dig my feet right in
Tell me no
Just tell me that I can't win
So come on, I'm sure I'll prove you wrong
Go on and go
Tell me no

For every step I take
You're right there trying to block my next move
And if you're making me feel bad
Then tell me then do you feel good
I'm just human and all I'm doing
Is what my heart tells me I should
So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on and

Chorus

No, no, no, no, no, no
It motivates me more and more
And I think it's time you know
You've given me something to work for
And I can't wait for the day
I can rub things in your face
And I ain't gonna stop 'til I'm done
I've reached the top, I'm number one
For every time you try and tell me no
(Every time you try and tell me no)
It only makes me keep on keepin' on

Chorus (2x)
