Melinda Doolittle: Have a nice day

Why, you wanna tell me how to live my life?
Who, are you to tell me if its black or white?
Mama, can you help me? Try to understand.
Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man.
My daddy lived the lie, its just the price that he paid.
Sacrificed his life, just slavin away.
Ohhh, if theres one thing I hang onto,
It gets me through the night.
I aint gonna do what I dont want to,
Im gonna live my life.
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
Standing on the ledge, show the wind how to fly.
When the world gets in my face,
I say, Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day
Take a look around you, nothing's what it seems.
Were living in a broken home of hopes and dreams,
Let me be the first to shake a helping hand.
Anybody, brave enough to take a stand,
I knocked on every door, on every dead end street,
Looking for forgiveness,
and whats left to believe
Ohhh, if theres one thing I hang onto,
It gets me through the night.
I aint gonna do what I dont want to,
Im gonna live my life.
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
Standing on the ledge, show the wind how to fly.
When the world gets in my face,
I say, Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day.

When The world keeps trying, to drag me down,
Ive gotta raise my hands, gonna stand my ground.
Well I say, Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day
