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 someday
I'll teach you real fine...
They'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 someday
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...
