Me and my grandma used to listen to this song together when i was little. Now shes older and has dementia and doesn't remember who i am. But every time i play this song to her she remembers and we just sing and laugh like we used to together...she still remembers every lyric!
Gosh, that just breaks my heart to hear, about your grandma. And that's so wonderful about her being able to remember the song and the lyrics, and in some parts of her, her family and you. Thanks for sharing!
Sierra jae Partain💕awwwww...Well that’s what you focus on is what she does remember of yawls moment with this song and you just keep playing this song with the two of you together every time you can when you see her and play it over again and again and again, I love this… So beautiful well that’s what you focus on is what she does remember of yawls moment with this song and you just keep playing this song with the two of you together every time you can when you see her and play it over again and again and again, I love this… So beautiful absolutely beautiful and I’m sorry about her dementia absolutely beautiful and I’m sorry about her dementia
I'm a black boy from the city and I absolutely grew up with Martina, Faith Hill, Brooks & Dunn, the Dixie Chicks and more. Music is one of the remaining things that brings us all together. We need it more now than ever
Good music is good music no matter the race. I listen to everything from alternative to gangsta rap. I grew up in the 90s where we had ridiculously diverse music so I don't have a favorite genre I just like what's good.
@@dontdiscriminatehateeveryo9263 I don't think anyone listens music based on cultural distinctions. But I do think the way it's sold to the public, particularly through radio stations, is designed to divide us
Oh, sweetie! It’ll all work out. It might not work out the way you want it to or how you have it mapped out, but it’ll work out for your benefit. I don’t know if you’re a Christian or not, but I would love to pray for you. :) Good luck! And enjoy these moments because soon you’ll wake up 9 years older and wonder where 25 went! 😂😘
Real women build one another up. Don’t kick another when they’re down. Be the hand of Jesus that reaches out to help. ❤ Without us, there’s no children.
I remember this song when I got my first apartment. I used to blast it. Living on dreams and spaghetti o's was the truth. It took me getting my own place to finally understand what mama used to say. 'I pay the cost to be the boss'. LOL! I seriously hated when she said that. Got my own apartment and was surprised that food didn't magically appear in the fridge. I said as a kid that I would only buy name brand stuff...yeah no. Life is a hell of a teacher! 45 now and a nurse. This song got me through a rough time in my twenties
When she says hold onto your innocence stand your ground when everyone else is giving in… I’ll translate that. She’s saying don’t get used !!! We feel we have to say yes to sex, we can grow up in a home full of people and feel unloved when you feel you have to say yes to sex or you’re saying no to the possibility of love… Don’t do it do you hear me? Don’t do it! If everyone else is giving in you’ll just be like everyone else but if you’re the girl who does not give in because when it seems like you’re saying no to the possibility of love just because you feel like you got to have sex to get that love it’s never going to give you that love sex is not going to get you love. What will get you love if you stand out as the girl does not give in and have sex like everyone else now is it going to be with that boy/man who’s pressuring you know down deep inside that it is not and you won’t want to listen to that voice because you’re gonna want to love so bad because you didn’t get love at home. Don’t get used because it feels worse than what it feels like when you think you need the love because you didn’t get it growing up at home so then on top of that now you’re getting used for sex. I was pressured into having sex at 13 years old I was so curious and he was so good looking. In fact my older sister would talk about him years before I ever went to high school and I knew who he was when he started flirting with me in school but he was only out to use me for sex and then he never spoke to me again. Yes he took my virginity and never spoke to me again. Don’t get used for sex. You’re beautiful the way you are. And… This one’s for the girls 💕💕💕💕💛💛💛💛💛💕💕
I have a teen daughter into country music (like me) who loves this song (skated a solo to it in our town’s annual ice show) and I admit as a dad I understood exactly what Martina is getting at and I zeroed in on that verse and hoped it would impact her (but I have never said a thing).
I"m a black woman grew up in MIchigan, 2 hours from Motown and 3 hours from the chicago Jazz scene. Spent 30 years in UTAH( of all places) and am now 3 years in Texas. My parents were lovers of ALL Music, so love all kinds of Music. Yesterday EW&F September was what i needed. Today, It's Martina. Good music is like a best friend you Cry, laugh, mourn, fight and love with. And we all need that kind of a universal friend.
I hope this song stays around. In my early thirties, I was brave enough to go shopping for shoes on. an out of town business trip. This one's for all you thirtysomethings!
This one's for my three beautiful girls My super amazing daughters NIKI MARIE KALEE VIKTORIA EMMEE ALYSSA Im so proud to be your father You three never cease to amaze me Beauty, intelligent, courage, resilient, determined, caring, humbleness, giving, powerful, loving young women You succeed where most men fail Never underestimate yourself or your father's love
You are such an amazing father. I may not know you or your daughters, but I believe you are an amazing father to your girls, and your girls will do amazing things. I hope this comment makes you smile, and if you ever struggle or if your girls ever struggle mentally or financially, just please know that everything will work itself out in time!
@@Sophie-od4yl thank you for the kind words I greatly appreciate it My girls touch every life they meet with sincerity, kindness & blindness ( No judging ) through my wife & our parenting
I’m 26 and this past year has been the hardest year of my life. I almost gave up back in November 2020. I swore to God I couldn’t do it anymore. I couldn’t take anymore. The hits just kept coming. My mom sent me this song this morning and I’ve never felt more at peace with what has happened and what’s probably coming.. I guess it’s nice to know that I’m not alone. She wrote this for a reason & it blew up for a reason. This song speaks to the millions of us out here.
i like to sit on the porch an spit backer juice listenin to this an remember all the ones that brought me a happy heart especially one from early '91 till we shook hands in '95 ♥️
I was here at 16. I'm here at 28. Thankful I can go back and find positive music. I'm a single black mother defying the odds of the stereotype. Doing my best to walk righteously in christ and do my very best to her and be my best.. not repeating the steps of what I've been through.. I still have hope when there was none. I have a beautiful 11 month old that I will play this for when she is 13. 🤍
man im 72 years just an old man now but this video song is so special it is what we are all about our girls i am so glad I found this song, and I love it
This song is the first song that I’ve listened to during the Covid-19 virus in 2023, ( I am a big fan of Martina McBride and love her music!, now I have the greatest privilege of being her friend, I can’t wait 😛 to see what our new friendship leads to 😹😹), but I know without a doubt that she is beautiful 🤩
The lyrics are so down to earth and relatable. Martina's got a real gift for reaching out to the everyday person and recognizing all the things we go through.
This song had a much bigger influence on me than I realized. I was about 13 when it came out, and now I'm in my mid-twenties, and I still want those shiny purple pants she's rocking.
So amazed by how many women in the comments, like me, listened to this gem for the first time when they were 13, and felt that the first verse spoke directly to them, literally and figuratively. I love that the verse can be interpreted multiple ways. It could be about virginity, but it could also be about not just following trends and being true to yourself.
It’s so weird to think when I was young I didn’t understand this song nearly as well as I do now. I am now playing this on repeat, crying because how powerful yet true this song is when I just laughed and danced to it when I was younger.
I remember listening to this song when i was 12, thinking about the future of being 13, 25, and 42 and now im 30. Time just flew by but this song thus far has been so accurate
My daughter is having a tough time right now at 15. It feels so good to share this with her today to remind her no matter what she is beautiful, she is special, and we will get through everything together ❤
You can feel the love in this song... certain songs have more love in them then others. This here is a good one... I bet there are even men who enjoy it..
*I was singing this through my mask at CVS yesterday 😄...LOVE THIS SONG...📢AND TO MY LADIES: IF YOUR'E READING THIS, KNOW YOU'RE SPECIAL, BEAUTIFUL, KNOW YOUR WORTH AND THAT YOU ROCK!!!!!*
When I first heard this song, I was 14. I heard this song today (I am now 25), and can't wait to hear it again when I'm in my 40's. :) It's a great song!
this song came out when I was 11 I always thought the begging was the best, now I'm 23 and the second part is my life....crazy how fast you can grow up.
2:55 Thank you. As a trans girl this helps a lot to hear. I was 11 when I heard this song. I was with my mom in her classroom after the school year was done and she was playing MTV or something on the TV, and this song came on. Even though, at the time, I had no idea what it was to be trans and was being raised as a boy this song struck a chord deep within me and I have always held onto and remembered this song.
Love this lady and this song! Martina always inspired me when I was a teen and now that I'm 23 I still look up to her! It's songs like this that remind us to cherish what we have at each stage in our lives and always stay true to ourselves.
My birthday is today and I just turned 13.... This song is the first thing that came on when I went in to Pandora to listen to music.. This is the best advice... Every girl needs to listen to this! ❤️❤️❤️ Your all beautiful the way you are... ❤️😘❤️😘
I wish that I had heard that advice when I was 13 - how different my life would be now at 16. I remember hearing this song in the car with my mom, who is 42, a lot when I was little, I just never quite understood the lyrics. I just wish I could go back in time and hear that simple, yet strong bit of lyrics; "Hold onto, onto your innocence."
I imagine there are many who consciously and more often, sub-consciously, are in pursuit of innocence recovered. This is one of those things which may separate you from another who cares little or nothing for the precious beauty of innocence. The path is simple, really... ask God to reveal your actual sins to you and that you see them as he does so that you may live out your moments and days and enter the next life having truly repented of them.
why does it matter if you have your "innocence" unless you got pregnant the only repercussions as a female is a dampened ability to pair bond, which is a strong negative, but one sexual encounter isnt the end of the world. the second repercussion is if you got pregnant which is an obvious financial money sink. Stop focusing on little details that aren't too significant and learn how to research for the things you desire. Want to be rich? research what job pays alot, and how to get there while also researching how to manage your finances, its simple emergency fund cut out needless spending pay off debt invest, invest in a 401k save at least a 20% down payment on a house 15 year fixed mortgage (preferably 100% down payment, achievable in 6 years if you reallly want it enough) life isnt too difficult to be successful in you just have to put in an effort for the things you want and stop obsessing over pointless time wasting activities.
Born in 88. Thought this song was cheesy when it came out, even though I love Martina's voice and other songs, and I think she is wonderful. Now I have daughters and rock this song all the time. It's beautiful. I love growing older
I was 42 yo when this song was out and it used to make me laugh and cry at the same time. And it still does... It is such a true depiction of how it is for us girls...
I still remember the first time I heard this song I was 8 years old listening to my radio in my room crying from school and life and when I thought I was done with the world was over this song came on later when RUclips came around I'll listen to it when I was down. Truly saved my life
I remember when my mom used to listen to this song we would dance and sing along with the song may you RIP mom my mom passed away from brain cancer on September 11 2022
People will break your heart and dreams. They will put you down try to control you and ruin your life. It's up to you to fight back. And don't ever let nobody tell you your not good enough. Fight back for you prove them wrong. Don't let nobody ever tell you that there better than you cause there not.
Im 63 and still love this song. Im going to sing it and dance with my 5 yr old granddaughter. Music is the best medicine for a lot of things esp. your heart
You are exactly right I have heart issues I was in the hospital for two months which I'm getting better I been listening to alot of the old music when music was good it realize stress from the doctor stuff you're right about it being the best medicine it makes you want get moving it brings back good memories and no matter what kind of mood you're in it makes you smile I hope you and you're grandkids have fun
This song came out when I was a teenager. It's been a few years since I have listened to it and I am closest to being a girl about 42. I started bawling when I listened to it today. It hits different than it used to.
First time I heard this i was 13.. now I'm closer to 25.. crazy how I listen to this song at such a different time in my life and it still give me goosebumps!
Every time I hang out with my niece, this is "our song" that we play several times and sing along to. We've been singing it together for at least 5 years now. I'm trying to teach her that, regardless of whether or when she gets married, has kids, whatever, her girlfriends are going to be an important part of every moment of her life, and to never take these sacred friendships for granted.
This song had always been a reminder to me of all of the potential & freedom that all of my sisters, sisters-in-law, nieces & grand nieces. My heart hurts for all of them and every woman in the USA who no longer have their right to choose,
You're advocating for murdering the girls who are about 13 (weeks). Your heart is in the wrong place if your heart hurts for those who were told they couldn't murder their children. My heart hurts for your soul.
I'm 17 June 19 and a junior in high school wonder where my last going to go after that. I thank this song for helping me understand life. Because I graduate high school in the class of 2020
Martina, you are an absolutely gorgeous lady with beautiful eyes, beautiful voice & beautiful smile. Just beautiful in every way. No one compares to you. Martina, you’re a doll with the voice of an angel. You are the greatest female singer ever.
This is the song my mom dedicated to me and I dedicated to her when it first came out and every time I think of this song I remember my mom no matter how far away from home I am.
i remember when my mom was alive and this song came on the radio and she drove around the block. today would have been her 72nd birthday. i love and miss you mom. (i was 13 when she died) i'm now 32 with 2 sons
I feel sad when it gets to "Every laugh line on your face", and "Tossing pennies into the fountain of youth". I'm not sure exactly why, I guess it just makes me feel bad for them, wanting to be somebody else, different.
So proud the women in my family were and are Faithful Feminists and so blessed to have a Dad that loved all so so much. Women Matter from 1-99. Thank you Martina McBryde for this beautiful reminder. You are an angel singing, God Bless You❤
This one's for the girls... and all the boys as well!! Still listening to this song all these years later, at least a couple of times a month, sometimes more. CLASSIC!!
I was in my teens when this song came out. I didn’t hold onto my innocence as much as I should have. I lived on my dreams and spaghetti o’s. I’ll be 40 next month and still need reminded that the laugh lines on my face make me who I am. This song is timeless!!!
Never really pay attention to this song until one day silently sit in my office and this song was on so i listening her lyrics and what she have to say. Pretty much every word she sang about my life.. Maybe every girl... And I'm 42😁
Me and my grandma used to listen to this song together when i was little. Now shes older and has dementia and doesn't remember who i am. But every time i play this song to her she remembers and we just sing and laugh like we used to together...she still remembers every lyric!
Gosh, that just breaks my heart to hear, about your grandma. And that's so wonderful about her being able to remember the song and the lyrics, and in some parts of her, her family and you. Thanks for sharing!

Omg I know what your going through 😭😢

Good music is good music no matter the race. I listen to everything from alternative to gangsta rap. I grew up in the 90s where we had ridiculously diverse music so I don't have a favorite genre I just like what's good.
@@dontdiscriminatehateeveryo9263 I don't think anyone listens music based on cultural distinctions. But I do think the way it's sold to the public, particularly through radio stations, is designed to divide us
So true bro so true
Bless you!
I'm 25 living in a tiny apartment and I literally cried at how accurate the second verse is to me
It's funny how the universe works doesn't it💫🌠👆💞
Honestly this song makes me cry too, but in a good way
Me toooo!!! 25 little apartment eating spaghetti os 😂
Oh, sweetie! It’ll all work out. It might not work out the way you want it to or how you have it mapped out, but it’ll work out for your benefit.

I remember this song when I got my first apartment. I used to blast it. Living on dreams and spaghetti o's was the truth. It took me getting my own place to finally understand what mama used to say. 'I pay the cost to be the boss'. LOL! I seriously hated when she said that. Got my own apartment and was surprised that food didn't magically appear in the fridge. I said as a kid that I would only buy name brand stuff...yeah no. Life is a hell of a teacher! 45 now and a nurse. This song got me through a rough time in my twenties
Indubitably, many women can relate to your personal anecdote.
Girls are amazing! Thanks to Our Creator Jesus Christ for making them! So grateful!!
I love the part where she says stand your ground when everyone's giving in. It's the best advice I've ever been given.
i dont i hate that part the most
Sometimes standing your ground influences others to do so as well... sometimes.
That's the best advice you've been given? That sucks lol
When she says hold onto your innocence stand your ground when everyone else is giving in… I’ll translate that. She’s saying don’t get used !!!

I'm 25 now, my mom used to play this song out loud, I think she's saying it's going to be okay; it's not that big of a deal when looking back.
The lyrics are so down to earth and relatable. Martina's got a real gift for reaching out to the everyday person and recognizing all the things we go through.

My favorite song by Martina McBride ❤🌹⚘️
So I passed 42 a long time ago but my grandkids fall into 25 yrs & younger. At least I fit into the 1-99yrs. Love this song though. Best singer ever.
God bless her. As a woman who was beaten as a child, thank god someone brings it to attention.
This has always been one of my favorite songs. I understand the meaning of the lyrics now that I'm a adult. Being a girl is something special
This one's for the girls who are trusting with no answers but all Faith in Jesus and in what tomorrow will bring. Amen
Every girl should hear this song..
Right?! I play it (LOUDLY) often and sing it to my daughter.
I tie them up and force them to hear it. Its effective.
maybe they would stop being so vindictive to each other if they did.
Whether they like it or not.
Agreed... AND all the boys!!
Who’s with me in 2020 listening to true country.... Love Martina...
How readily can this stand? when next considered, there won't be any answers
This cat is RoCkiN with Martina in 2021 baby!!
My daughter is having a tough time right now at 15. It feels so good to share this with her today to remind her no matter what she is beautiful, she is special, and we will get through everything together ❤

I'm 30. I totally get what you mean. It's a wild ride!!!
It's from 2009.....
Isabella Vargas, it came out in 2003. It was uploaded to RUclips in 2009. Look at what they're wearing, it's got early 00s written all over it...
she sings like an angel!😇
This is for all you girls about 300. How you're remembered and the legacy you leave behind.
2:55 Thank you. As a trans girl this helps a lot to hear.
I was 11 when I heard this song. I was with my mom in her classroom after the school year was done and she was playing MTV or something on the TV, and this song came on. Even though, at the time, I had no idea what it was to be trans and was being raised as a boy this song struck a chord deep within me and I have always held onto and remembered this song.
It's songs like these that should have 1 billion views. Not Justin Bieber's 'Baby'
not a girl, never was, probably will never be, but i fuckin love this song. Any other dudes love this song? no? just me?
Toe ofawesome love okay miss kids kiss love Kirstyn
This cat adores you Martina!!😽💕
Love this lady and this song! Martina always inspired me when I was a teen and now that I'm 23 I still look up to her! It's songs like this that remind us to cherish what we have at each stage in our lives and always stay true to ourselves.
Yeah
I'm going to see Martina McBride at Sea World Orlando on May 7. Its free with admission to the park. I'm so excited!
Hello Lindsay.. how are you doing?
I don’t care if it came out before. I still feel like this song it an absolute Walmart version of “girls are the best” by Tanye McCabe.
For the girls all around the world, You're beautiful just the way you are ❤
Thank you, but I don't think so, you should see my face, all the mirrors break..
Natasha E you now beauty grows out of self-love and aception
ps on the pic. you look really cute! so i can shure you you are beuatiful!!!
Natasha E yea ur right
ProudAmericanJ41776 b douchebag
+Natasha E once I was walking through my house and I looked sideways and a mirror was there and I screamed at my reflection.
I’ve always loved this song and now I’m 43 with a 9 year old daughter just praying she “gets it” sooner than I did. ❤
My birthday is today and I just turned 13.... This song is the first thing that came on when I went in to Pandora to listen to music.. This is the best advice... Every girl needs to listen to this! ❤️❤️❤️ Your all beautiful the way you are... ❤️😘❤️😘
I wish that I had heard that advice when I was 13 - how different my life would be now at 16. I remember hearing this song in the car with my mom, who is 42, a lot when I was little, I just never quite understood the lyrics. I just wish I could go back in time and hear that simple, yet strong bit of lyrics; "Hold onto, onto your innocence."
+Brandy Ervin well said!😉💛
Why did you have sex?
@@teaandcoffeeM The question really is perhaps, "why are you, Michael T, so nonchalant at being a cad?"
I imagine there are many who consciously and more often, sub-consciously, are in pursuit of innocence recovered. This is one of those things which may separate you from another who cares little or nothing for the precious beauty of innocence. The path is simple, really... ask God to reveal your actual sins to you and that you see them as he does so that you may live out your moments and days and enter the next life having truly repented of them.
why does it matter if you have your "innocence" unless you got pregnant the only repercussions as a female is a dampened ability to pair bond, which is a strong negative, but one sexual encounter isnt the end of the world. the second repercussion is if you got pregnant which is an obvious financial money sink. Stop focusing on little details that aren't too significant and learn how to research for the things you desire. Want to be rich? research what job pays alot, and how to get there while also researching how to manage your finances, its simple emergency fund cut out needless spending pay off debt invest, invest in a 401k save at least a 20% down payment on a house 15 year fixed mortgage (preferably 100% down payment, achievable in 6 years if you reallly want it enough) life isnt too difficult to be successful in you just have to put in an effort for the things you want and stop obsessing over pointless time wasting activities.
Born in 88. Thought this song was cheesy when it came out, even though I love Martina's voice and other songs, and I think she is wonderful. Now I have daughters and rock this song all the time. It's beautiful. I love growing older
I was 42 yo when this song was out and it used to make me laugh and cry at the same time. And it still does... It is such a true depiction of how it is for us girls...
I still remember the first time I heard this song I was 8 years old listening to my radio in my room crying from school and life and when I thought I was done with the world was over this song came on later when RUclips came around I'll listen to it when I was down. Truly saved my life
That's awesome
Your hot
Not you brooky boy, i ain't gay. Usually market songs have less then 1 mil views... I'm surprised.
black girl from the hood and i can still relate 2024! almost 2025! still bumping this hit
When I first heard this song, I was "about 25". Now I'm 42 😭😭
What a lovely song about sisterhood. Stay true to yourselves girls! We’ve all been or will be where you are-you are not alone!!
My school bus driver used to play this when I was in 8th grade, 13, and hating my new school. It always made me feel a little better 😊.
I’m almost 32, and raising kids, fostering my 13 year marriage, scraping by financially... this song still makes me feel less alone. 💜
shes so strong with her words love her music
ok
I remember when my mom used to listen to this song we would dance and sing along with the song may you RIP mom my mom passed away from brain cancer on September 11 2022
People will break your heart and dreams. They will put you down try to control you and ruin your life. It's up to you to fight back. And don't ever let nobody tell you your not good enough. Fight back for you prove them wrong. Don't let nobody ever tell you that there better than you cause there not.
Im 63 and still love this song. Im going to sing it and dance with my 5 yr old granddaughter. Music is the best medicine for a lot of things esp. your heart
You are exactly right I have heart issues I was in the hospital for two months which I'm getting better I been listening to alot of the old music when music was good it realize stress from the doctor stuff you're right about it being the best medicine it makes you want get moving it brings back good memories and no matter what kind of mood you're in it makes you smile I hope you and you're grandkids have fun
This song came out when I was a teenager. It's been a few years since I have listened to it and I am closest to being a girl about 42. I started bawling when I listened to it today. It hits different than it used to.
First time I heard this i was 13.. now I'm closer to 25.. crazy how I listen to this song at such a different time in my life and it still give me goosebumps!
Every time I hang out with my niece, this is "our song" that we play several times and sing along to. We've been singing it together for at least 5 years now. I'm trying to teach her that, regardless of whether or when she gets married, has kids, whatever, her girlfriends are going to be an important part of every moment of her life, and to never take these sacred friendships for granted.
Lost my baby sister at 1:45 today... I love you baby sis!!! 💕💕💕💕💕😘💞💞💞😍😘😆💯🙌
Sorry for your baby sister 😢❤❤❤❤ 🙏
My deepest condolences to you and your family
So sorry 😞 I lost 2 sisters. It's heartbreaking 💔 sending you love ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
This song had always been a reminder to me of all of the potential & freedom that all of my sisters, sisters-in-law, nieces & grand nieces. My heart hurts for all of them and every woman in the USA who no longer have their right to choose,
You're advocating for murdering the girls who are about 13 (weeks). Your heart is in the wrong place if your heart hurts for those who were told they couldn't murder their children. My heart hurts for your soul.
This was my anthem when i was 13. Gonna be my anthem when i turn 25 too. Thank you for the song Martina!
I'm 17 June 19 and a junior in high school wonder where my last going to go after that. I thank this song for helping me understand life. Because I graduate high school in the class of 2020
Martina, you are an absolutely gorgeous lady with beautiful eyes, beautiful voice & beautiful smile. Just beautiful in every way. No one compares to you. Martina, you’re a doll with the voice of an angel. You are the greatest female singer ever.
This is the song my mom dedicated to me and I dedicated to her when it first came out and every time I think of this song I remember my mom no matter how far away from home I am.
i remember when my mom was alive and this song came on the radio and she drove around the block. today would have been her 72nd birthday. i love and miss you mom. (i was 13 when she died) i'm now 32 with 2 sons
I don't know way but every time I hear this song I cry
I feel sad when it gets to "Every laugh line on your face", and "Tossing pennies into the fountain of youth". I'm not sure exactly why, I guess it just makes me feel bad for them, wanting to be somebody else, different.
Same !!!!!
Me too!
Me too
I think it just makes you think of all the mistakes you've made in life and how far you've come in life
I'm 13 and I remember being little and playing this song everyday. I still play it alot.
Saaaaaame
So proud the women in my family were and are Faithful Feminists and so blessed to have a Dad that loved all so so much. Women Matter from 1-99. Thank you Martina McBryde for this beautiful reminder. You are an angel singing, God Bless You❤
This one's for the girls... and all the boys as well!! Still listening to this song all these years later, at least a couple of times a month, sometimes more. CLASSIC!!
The first Martina mcbride song I found that doesn't make me cry.
Happy girls a really good one, and she's a butterfly, unless you're soppy like me and connect too much.
zoe louise Thanks! I'll check that one out!
even this one makes me cry Lol im a sap
meeeee
this one always makes me laugh.
Great smile, great everything
I was in my teens when this song came out. I didn’t hold onto my innocence as much as I should have. I lived on my dreams and spaghetti o’s. I’ll be 40 next month and still need reminded that the laugh lines on my face make me who I am. This song is timeless!!!
This is my "don't give up without a fight" song. My old manager Julie taught me this when I had hit rock bottom, and I'm forever grateful! *high five*
So much truth and heart, loved this forever!
this used to be my favorite song when i was a kid….listened to it every day.
+Corinne Charles same! I'm 13 and my mom would always play this
Never really pay attention to this song until one day silently sit in my office and this song was on so i listening her lyrics and what she have to say. Pretty much every word she sang about my life.. Maybe every girl... And I'm 42😁
Amen Thank you for spreading the word.
I just turned 25 and I totally get this song now, used to just like the up beatness. Now I really hear what's being said and get it
