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 some day |
|
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 |
|
And baby, baby |
|
Remember, remember |
|
It's my life and I'll do what I want |
|
It's my mind and I'll think like 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 |
|
While I'm squeezin' them dry |
|
Takin' all I can get, no regrets |
|
When I, openly lie |
|
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 (baby) |
|
Remember (remember) |
|
It's my life and I'll do what I want |
|
It's my mind and I'll think like 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 like 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 like I want) You can't tell me |
|
(It's my life and I'll do what I want) |
