"It's My Life" lyrics

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

Hear what I say
I'm gonna ride this serpent
No more time spent, sweatin' rent
Hear my command

I'm breakin' loose, it ain't no use
Holdin' me down, stick around
But baby (Baby)
Remember (Remember)

It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I think what I want
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
But someday, I'll treat you real fine

There'll be women and their fortunes
Who just want to mother orphans
Are you gonna cry while I'm squeezin' them dry?
Talkin' all I can get, no regrets

When I, openly lie
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
And baby (Baby)
Remember (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 sometime
But someday, I'll treat you real fine

(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
(It's my life and I'll do what I want)
I'll do what I want
(It's my mind and I'll think what I want)
