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..
#2.
I'm going to 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, baby..remember, remember..
CHORUS:
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 someday I'll treat you real fine.
.. (x2)
#3.
There'll be women and their fortunes...who'll just want
to mother orphans.
Are you going to cry, when I'm squeezin' them dry?
Taking 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 cut out, any doubt.
But baby, baby, remember, remember..
CHORUS:
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 someday I'll treat you real fine.
OUTRO:
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.
(I can do what I want!)
It's my mind and I'll think what I want.
