Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

Hear what I say

I'm gonna ride this serpent

No more time spent sweatin' rent

Hear my command

I'm breakin' loose

It ain't no use

Holdin' me down

Stick around

[PreChorus]

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

[Verse 3]

There'll be women and their fortunes

Who just want to mother orphans

Are you gonna cry

When I'm squeezin' them dry?

Talkin' all I can get

No regrets

[Verse 4]

When I openly lie, huh

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

[PreChorus]

And 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

[Chorus]

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 (Yeah, 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 (I'll do what I want)
