I Got It Wrong Lyrics – Real Women Have Curves

[ANA]
Stitch by stitch, day in, day out
You never blink, face every doubt
You don't give in, you don't complain
You let pan dulce numb the pain

Your chisme and your laughter make you braver than I'll ever be
I put you down, made you feel small
I thought I knew it all

But I got it wrong
I thought that I was so much smarter
I thought that I worked harder
But I got it wrong
It's you who went the distance
Taught me all about persistence
Refusing to give up in a country that looks down on you
Refusing to give in to the hopelessness surrounding you
Refusing to let go of the fire in your belly
The desire to be free, be more
Believe that a life's an open door

And I got it wrong
I was all about ambition, but you taught me how to listen
And now I can see
You're the one who keeps us going
You keep the mole flowing
And I got it wrong, I got it wrong
[CARMEN, spoken]
Oye, I almost forgot
I've been making this for you

And you might as well take it
Because it's too hot for here

[ANA]
It's pieces of all the dresses we made!
Even the one I burned

[CARMEN]
It's just scraps

[ANA]
No, no, it's beautiful

[CARMEN]
See? She always gotta argue

[ANA, sung]
I never understood

[CARMEN, spoken]
Ana, please—

[ANA, sung]
Why you had to be so tough
[CARMEN]
Escúchame
Maybe now you'll see working hard is not enough

[CARMEN, ANA]
We gave up so many things

[ANA]
And I get it now, I do
You're the hero of my story, amá, it's you

[CARMEN, spoken]
Go, Ana
As far as you want
Fly, mija
We are with you para siempre
Y que Dios te bendiga

[ANA, sung]
And I'll make it right
With my familia on my shoulder
I'll be braver, I'll be bolder
'Cause now I can see
Whatever comes, we all can fight it
Just as long as we're united
And I...
[ENSEMBLE]
I...
I...

[ANA]
I'm gonna fly

[ENSEMBLE]
Fly

[ANA]
Like a bird free in my soul

[ENSEMBLE]
Soul

[ANA]
Ms. Garcia's in control

[ENSEMBLE]
Oh...

[ANA, ENSEMBLE]
And I'll be going places
Because I've got the nerve (Oh...)
I'm gonna hustle 'til I get what I deserve
I'm saying, ya no más, ya no más (Ya no más, ya no más)
Ya no más (Ya...)
With the weight of the words that I write (Ooh...)
This girl's gonna change the world! (She's gonna change the world)
Change the world

And I... (I, I)
I... (I, I)
I'm gonna fly! (Fly!)
