About the Artist
Lyrics
I was born out of wedlock on the seventeenth day Of the third month of 75 I watched my daddy working every hour God sends Just to keep all of my dreams alive I was the eldest of three, the pressure never got to me I guess I had a vision of how everybody should be Thinking not of what they'll miss, oh Until we're standing at the edge of the abyss Live 'til I die I laugh 'til I cry Live 'til I die I laugh 'til I cry 'Cause I know what I'm looking for I won't listen any more Any more Well, I went through some changes at the age of 14 And discovered all the joys of rock wear I made a point of wearing unfeasibly tight jeans And endeavoured just to grow my hair Oh, but kids can be cruel, I wasn't popular at school I became the subject of a campaign of ridicule But I'll stick by my guns, oh And rise above the laughter of the ignorant ones And live 'til I die I laugh 'til I cry Live 'til I die I laugh 'til I cry 'Cause I know what I'm looking for I won't listen any more Any more Oh, and the soundest advice I ever heard a man give Was daddy on the subject of the way I wanna live "If that's the path you wish to tread, ooh Put all your clothes back on, and take it off of your head 'Cause I'll always be here and if you freeze I'll talk you down You don't have to feel obliged to act the high school clown I know you've got what it takes, ooh And if you want to you can learn from your mistakes" And live 'til you die Laugh 'til you cry Live 'til you die And laugh 'til you cry
