Brenda Holloway (born June 21, 1946) is an American singer and songwriter, who was a recording artist for Motown Records during the 1960s. Her best-known recordings are the soul hits, "Every Little Bit Hurts" , When I'm Gone , and "You've Made Me So Very Happy." The latter, which she co-wrote, was later widely popularized when it became a Top Ten hit for Blood, Sweat & Tears. She left Motown after four years, at the age of 22, and largely retired from the music industry until the 1990s, after her recordings had become popular on the British "Northern soul" scene. more »

The creator has a masterplan
A message for you and a message for me
Don't be mistreated by any man
So the time has come to set myself free

This is the last time that I'll be used
This is the last man to walk over me
My emotions have been abused
And I'm waking up to reality

In this big great world out there
I'm determined that I'll find somewhere
The one to forget my sorrows
To give me respect
And to share tomorrow

Fighting for what's right
Fighting for what's fair
Fighting for what's right
I'm missing someone who's really gonna care

This is the last time that I'll be weak
That was the last man to hurt me inside
I won't be silent, I'm gonna speak
No-one can take away all of my pride

It's the truth, I was innocent
I believed those words he never meant
He almost took my sweetness away
But the fire's back, and it's gonna stay

Fighting for what's right
Fighting for what's fair
Fighting for what's right
I deserve someone who's really gonna care

He'll never use me any more 
I'm standing strong, I'm standing strong

Fighting for what's right
Fighting for what's fair
Fighting for what's right
I'm missing someone who's really gonna care

Oh stand up women everywhere
You don't have to be mistreated any more
No, no, no, no

I'm standing up and acting strong
Never again will I be treated wrong
The rest of my life is just beginning
And I'm gonna make sure, sure, sure I'm winning

This is the last time I'll go for a ride
Trying to back out of a dead end street
Never again will I run and hide
Ashamed of being left incomplete

Now I'm holding my head up high
Lifting it right up to the sky
I believe in myself and I'll get through
As long as I always know what's true

Fighting for what's right
Fighting for what's fair
Fighting for what's right
I'm missing someone who's really gonna care
