It's my life

It's a hard world to get a break in All the good things have been taken But girl there are ways To make certain things pay Though I'm dressed in these rags I'll wear sable Someday Hear what I say I'm gonna ride the serpent No more time spent Sweatin' rent Hear my command I'm breakin' loose It ain't no use Holdin' me down Stick around

But baby, but baby Remember, remember It's my life and I'll do what I want It's my mind and I'll think what I want Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime But some day, I'll treat you real fine

There'll be women and their fortunes Who just want to mother orphans Are you gonna cry When I'm squeezing them dry? Taking all I can get No regrets When I Openly lie (ha) And live on their money Believe me honey That money Can you believe? I ain't no Saint No complaints So girl throw out Any doubt

And baby, and baby Remember, remember It's my life and I'll do what I want It's my mind and I'll think what I want Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime But some day, I'll treat you real fine

It's my life and I'll do what I want Don't push me It's my mind and I'll think what I want It's my life It's my life and I'll do what I want And I can do what I want It's my mind and I'll think what I want You can't tell me It's my life and I'll do what I want
