It reached the top 10 in Australia, the Netherlands and Sweden, and broke the top 5 in New Zealand, peaking at number 4. It peaked within the top 20 in the United Kingdom and Norway.

You sucked me in and played my mind
Just like a toy
You would crank and wind
Baby, I would give you to what you want
You left me lying in a pool of doubt
If you're still thinking your the daddy mack
Ya shouldn't known better
But ya didn't
And I can't go back

Oh life goes on
And it's only gonna make me strong
It's a fact
Once you get on board
Say good-bye
'Cause you can't go back
Oh it's a fight
And I really want to get it right
Where I'm at
It's my life before me
Got this feeling
That I can't go back

Wish I knew then what I know now
You held all the cards
And sold me out
Baby, shame on you if you fool me once
Shame on me if you fool me twice
You've been a pretty hard case to crack
Should've of known better
But I didn't
And I can't go back

Oh life goes on
And it's only gonna make me strong
It's a fact
Once you get on board
Say good-bye
'Cause you can't go back
Oh it's a fight
And I really want to get it right
Where I'm at
It's my life before me
Got this feeling
That I can't go back

Na na na na life goes on
Na na na na made me strong

Oh oh yea

Got a feeling that I can't go back

Life, goes, on

On and on and on

Shame on you if you fool me once
Shame on me if you fool me twice
You've been a pretty hard case to crack
I should of known better
But I didn't
And I can't go back

Oh life goes on
And it's only gonna make me strong
It's a fact
Once you get on board
Say good-bye
'Cause you can't go back
Oh it's a fight
And I really want to get it right
Where I'm at
It's my life before me
Got this feeling
That I can't go back

Na na na na life goes on
Na na na na made me strong
