It's My Life

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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, stick around [Pre-Chorus] But baby (Baby) Remember (Remember) [Chorus] 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 someday, I'll treat you real fine [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] 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, ha ha, and live on their money Believe me, honey, that money Can you believe? I ain't no saint, no complaints So girl, throw out any doubt [Pre-Chorus] And baby (Baby) Remember (Remember) [Chorus] 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 someday, I'll treat you real fine [Outro] (It's my life and I'll do what I want) Don't push me (It's my mind and I'll think what I want) It's my life (It's my life and I'll do what I want) And I can do what I want (It's my mind and I'll think what I want) You can't tell me, baby (It's my life and I'll do what I want) I'm gonna do what I want (It's my mind...)
