It's a hard world
to get a break in
All the good things
have been taken
Well girl they always
don't make certain
things pay
Though I'm dressed
in these rags
I might save them
some day
Hear what I say
I'm gonna ride
that's certain
No more time spent
sweating rent
Yeah like a man
I'm breakin' loose
It ain't no use
holding me down
Stick around
but baby
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 sometimes
but some day
I'll teach you real fine...
There'll be women
earning fortunes
who just want to
mother orphans
But you're gonna cry
when I'm
squeezing them dry
taking all I can get
no regrets
When I...
openly lie
And they
owe me money
Believe me honey
their money
Can you believe
I ain't no saint
no complaints
So girl cry
Can you die
and baby
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 sometimes
but some day
I'll teach 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
