Fighter Lyrics
Fighter
Written by Christina Aguilera
When I, thought I knew you
Thinking, that you were true
I guess I, I couldn't trust
'Cause your bluff time is up
'Cause I've had enough
You were, there by my side
Always, down for the ride
But your, joy ride just came down in flames
'Cause your greed sold me out of shame, mmhmm
After all of the stealing and cheating
You probably think that I hold resentment for you
But, uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do
I wouldn't know just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you
'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter
Oh, ohh
Never, saw it coming
All of, your backstabbing
Just so, you could cash in
On a good thing before I realized your game
I heard, you're going around
Playing, the victim now
But don't, even begin
Feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave, uh huh
After all of the fights and the lies
Yes you wanted to harm me but that won't work anymore
Uh, no more, oh no, it's over
'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now, and never back down
So I wanna say thank you
'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

I want to dedicate this song to my mom. Wherever you may be Mom, I hope your drunk ass has heard this song, cause this is the closest I'll ever get to telling you to f*ck off.
I heard this song once on the radio and it just made me think of my mom and all the shit. I didn't know it was written by Christina Aguilera, I'll admit I'm not really a fan, but this song will forever be her best.
And to anybody out there who has gone through some major shit, which I can totaly relate believe me, I hope that even if you don't like this singer, you'll give the song a chance. This song has now become my anthem.
The first time I heard this, I also dedicated it to my mom!

This song means so much to me. It got my through some really shitty times caused by certain people. But I always put this song on and decided fuck you! I'm not letting you ruin my life any more!
this songs gr8 xtina went thru a lot in her childhood n she expresses it beutifully thru her music. this songs amazing its like shes lettin all her anger out and just sayin fuck it! gud 4 her! xxx
the black dress and hairstyle she wore in the video reminded me of the "frozen" video by madonna.
I think this song is about a person who thought they could trust someone but it turns out that somone was unworthy of their trust. But the person doesn't let that get them down, they keep moving fowards despite what that someone did.
i luv this song- its reali just a song sayin fck u ta all those people who have hurt u!! =) another klaz* song from christina!!!
I can relate to this song...when people are out to just bring you down...but you prove them wrong...because it's in the end your string. I have to agree with lil fairy princess...thats how it is lol...
great song! Reminds me of my ex-bf.... :p
umm. freakin great ass song!!! you tell them girl!!
this song is great...my bf just broke up with me out of nowhere without warning and it really hurts, but it's songs like this that make me realize that he is the one making the mistake and i will end up better off without him and in the end, i will be the strong one
