PERSONAL
Marla Glen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say hate lasts for a long time
I know that's not true
Because I know how to stop it
I know what to do
In my world
In my mind

They say life, It ain't easy

But I know that's not true
Because I know how to live it
I know what to do
In my mind
In my world

It's a personal feeling
Inside
If the world is bringing you down
Get up
It's a personal feeling
In my mind
And if the world is bringing you down
Stand up

Ooh oh yeah yeah
Ooh all right now
All right now
Ooh yeah yeah

They say love it ain't easy
I know that's not true
Because I know how to push it
I know what to do
In my world
In my mind

In this world
Ooh yeah now
In my world

In my mind
It's a personal feeling
