Look at me, walking alone in this beautiful weather
Here I am, happy as can be
Look at me, floating above as light as a feather
Here I am – young, in love and free

I used to get by with a little help
But now I make it on my own
I can’t deny it wasn’t always easy
I used to get by with a little help
But now I make it on my own
I can’t deny it wasn’t always easy

Look at her, curly red hair and beautiful eyes
Here she is, glowing like the stars above
She can be the future inspiration for the rest of my life
Yes she is my muse, my love, my life

(Da-ta-da)
I used to get by with a little help
But now I make it on my own
I can’t deny it wasn’t always easy
(Da-ta-da)
I used to get by with a little help
But now I make it on my own
I can’t deny it wasn’t always easy

Ooh, there were times when I was regretful, I was disrespectful
There were times in my life
When I thought that I never would be someone like me today
But people change, I am what I am and I love life in so many ways
Ooh-oh-oh-oooooooooh

(Da-ta-da)
I used to get by with a little help
But now I make it on my own
I can’t deny it wasn’t always (it wasn’t, it wasn’t) easy
(I used to get by with a little help)
(But now)But now I make it (you can’t deny it wasn’t always easy)
I can’t deny-y-y-y (I used to get by with a little help)
But now I make it on my own (can’t deny it wasn’t always easy)
(Da-ta-da)
I used to get by with a little help
But now I make it on my own
