[00:23.76]It's a hard world to get a break in
[00:27.54]All the good things have been taken
[00:31.47]But girl there are ways
[00:33.87]To make certain things pay
[00:34.59]Though I'm dressed in these rags
[00:36.93]I'll wear sable some day
[00:42.36]Hear what I say
[00:45.48]I'm gonna ride the serpent
[00:49.65]No more time spent sweatin' rent
[00:53.25]Hear my command
[00:55.08]I'm breakin' loose, it ain't no use
[01:00.66]Holdin' me down, stick around
[01:01.68]And baby, baby
[01:12.30]Remember, remember
[01:13.14]It's my life and I'll do what I want
[01:14.64]It's my mind and I'll think like I want
[01:16.83]Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
[01:22.53]But some day I'll treat you real fine
[02:15.90]There'll be women and their fortunes
[02:20.19]Who just want to mother orphans
[02:24.30]Are you gonna cry
[02:25.59]While I'm squeezin' them dry
[02:27.72]Takin' all I can get, no regrets
[02:34.65]When I, openly lie
[02:38.31]And live on their money
[02:39.09]Believe me honey, that money
[02:45.60]Can you believe, I ain't no saint
[02:48.57]No complaints
[02:50.19]So girl throw out
[02:50.91]Any doubt
[02:58.65]And baby (baby)
[02:59.94]Remember (remember)
[03:03.27]It's my life and I'll do what I want
[03:05.55]It's my mind and I'll think like I want
[03:09.21]Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
[03:28.08]But some day I'll treat you real fine
[03:31.17](It's my life and I'll do what I want) Don't push me
[03:39.00](It's my mind and I'll think like I want) It's my life
[03:44.70](It's my life and I'll do what I want) And I can do what I want
[03:47.04](It's my mind and I'll think like I want) You can't tell me
[03:53.52](It's my life and I'll do what I want)
