Playing my song
Playing my song
Now the world be playing my song
Moving all night long
You said I was no good
Had me feeling miss understood
But you told me I couldn′t fly
But look at me now since you've been gone
I′m doing good, I'll moving on
Baby I never felt this strong
So baby for leaving me behind
Riding your tongue don't lose your mind
Couldn′t believe that I would try
Now the world be playing my song
Playing my song
Playing my song
Now the world be playing my song
Moving all night long
Now the world be playing my song
Playing my song
Playing my song
Now the world be playing my song
Moving all night long
[...] like a model chin
I hope I got you feeling so damn sick
You never thought I would come this far
But here I am, another fighting star
But look at me now since you′ve been gone
I'm doing good, I′ll moving on
Baby I never felt this strong
So baby for leaving me behind
Riding your tongue don't lose your mind
Couldn′t believe that I would try
Now the world be playing my song
Playing my song
Playing my song
Now the world be playing my song
Moving all night long
Now the world be playing my song
Playing my song
Playing my song
Now the world be playing my song
Moving all night long
Now the world be playing my song
Playing my song

Now the world be playing my song
Moving all night long
Now the world be playing my song

Now the world be playing my song
Moving all night long
Remember all this girls you played
You don't know oh how good it taste
To see they select on your face
Run away it′s it's a brand new day
Those eyes are flashing in the sky
I'm blind but still I see you cry
Truth out and now I′m fly and reach
Chapter′s done, this the memory
Now the world be playing my song
Playing my song
Playing my song
Now the world be playing my song
Moving all night long
Now the world be playing my song
Playing my song
Playing my song
Now the world be playing my song
Moving all night long

Additionally, the line “couldn't believe that I would try'' could suggest that she was underestimated and seen as not having the potential. The song then takes a celebratory turn, where the singer has reached success and is sharing it with the world to show that they are indeed strong and finally flying.
