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
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
So 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' them dry?
Takin' all I can get, no regrets
When I
Openly lie
And I leave on their money (ah ah ah)
Believe me honey, that money
Can you believe?
I ain't no saint
No complaints
So girl come on out
There is no doubt
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
It's my life and I'll do 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
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
It's my life and I'll do 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)
(It's my mind and I'll think what I want)
(It's my life and I'll do what I want)
(It's my mind and I'll think what I want)
(It's my life and I'll do what I want)
(It's my mind and I'll think what I want)
(It's my life and I'll do what I want)
(It's my mind and I'll think what I want)
(It's my life)
