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 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 But baby (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 squeezin' 'em 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 complaint. So girl throw out any doubts, and baby, remember And baby (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)
