It's My Life Lyrics
[00:18.28] It's a hard world to get a break in
[00:21.17] All the good things have been taken
[00:24.69] But girl, there are ways to make certain things pay
[00:29.11] Though I'm dressed in these rags
[00:31.01] I'll wear sable some day
[00:32.82] Hear what I say
[00:36.29]
[00:39.90] I'm gonna ride that serpent
[00:42.76] No more time spent
[00:45.42] Sweatin' rent
[00:48.04] Hear my command
[00:51.06] I'm breakin' loose
[00:52.81] And ain't no use
[00:55.22] Holdin' me down
[00:58.74] Stick around
[01:01.41] But baby (Baby)
[01:02.74] Remember (Remember)
[01:05.42] It's my life and I'll do what I want
[01:07.58] It's my mind and I'll think what I want
[01:13.42] Show me I'm wrong
[01:15.53] Hurt me sometime
[01:17.12] But some day I'll treat you real fine
[01:23.12]
[01:41.33] There'll be women and their fortunes
[01:45.32] Who just want to mother orphans
[01:49.04] Are you gonna cry while I'm squeezin' them dry?
[01:53.39] Takin' all I can get, no regrets
[01:57.30] When I openly lie
[02:04.58] And live on their money
[02:07.98] Believe me, honey
[02:10.35] That money
[02:12.44] Can you believe I ain't no saint?
[02:17.30] No complaints
[02:19.95] So girl, throw out any doubt
[02:23.31] And baby (Baby)
[02:27.70] Remember (Remember)
[02:29.56] It's my life and I'll do what I want
[02:33.22] It's my mind and I'll think what I want
[02:37.53] Show me I'm wrong
[02:39.35] Hurt me sometime
[02:41.58] But some day I'll treat you real fine
[02:46.58]
[02:49.55] (It's my life and I'll do what I want)
[02:52.79] Don't push it
[02:54.34] (It's my mind and I'll think what I want)
[02:56.44] It's my life
[02:57.79] (It's my life and I do what I want)
[03:00.20] Can't get to do what I want
[03:01.46] (It's my mind and I'll think what I want)
[03:03.84] You can't tell me
[03:05.71] (It's my life and I'll do what I want)
[03:07.03] It's my mind
[03:07.76]
