when I thought I wouldn't make it through the night
I wouldn't let it get me down
That's right, there were times
When I thought that I was cursed
So I just keep pressin' on, pressin' on,
My nose I took a lickin',
but I just keep on tickin'
Pressin' on, pressin' on,
Oh yes, it has been rough,
but I'm blessed with special love
So I just keep pressin' on,
Not a penny in my pocket,
and no more money in the bank
And through it all, I still kept my faith
Oh, I didn't think for a mo
Still I just keep pressing on, on and on
God knows I took some licking,
but I just keep on ticking
but I'm blessed with special love
God knows I took a lickin'
But I know I keep on takin'
I'm gonna keep pressin' on
It's gonna get hot as you get close
Through it all, I still kept my faith
I didn't think for a moment
Everyone knows I took some licking
But I'm gonna keep licking
But I'm blessed with special stuff
Cross, cross on, it might get rough, it seems so tough, you have to cross,
on, you can do it, you can do it
You do it, yes love you can do it,
