This Is My Life

The first guy I loved was a loser

The second guy was even worse

If there was a bum within fifty miles

I was drawn to him like a curse

I'd follow bum number three to L.A.

He left me there on my own

So there I was, no friends, no money

Too ashamed to go home

This is my life

Take a look at my life

I worked at a couple of fast food joints

I parked cars, did whatever I could

That's when I met Kit, she worked the street

She made it sound so good

So one day I did it, I cried the whole time

I was comin' apart at the seams

It's not like anybody plans it

No, it wasn't my childhood dream

This is my life

Take a look at my life

Ain't it funny how the bad stuff

Is so easy to believe

You know, it wears you down

And some days it really hurts

If you really wanna know me

My heart's here on my sleeve

I'm so tired of lettin' everybody else but me

Define a woman's world

This is my life

The story of my life (ooh)
