Come close and touch me ever so gently And when it's over, turn and face the night Don't make me offer more than I have time to give Just be part of now, don't try to be part of my life Girl, it's my life and it's me that's gonna live it 'Cause when it's done I'm the one that's gotta live with it Girl, there's so much I gotta do Before I can give my life to you Selfish though it may seem each man has his own dream And I'm no different, I have mine Being in love will take up too much of my time Girl, it's my life and it's me that's gonna live it 'Cause when it's done I'm the one that's gotta live with it Girl, there's so much I wanna be And it's my life and no one can live my life but me Girl, it's my life and I'm gonna live it my way It's a one way street and not an open highway It's my life, it's my life, it's my life
