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 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
but 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 some day i’ll treat you real fine
there’ll be women and their fortunes
who just want to mother orphans
are you gonna cry
when i’m squeezing them dry
taking all i can get
no regrets
when i
openly lie 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
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 some day i’ll treat you real fine
hook
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’m gonna do what i want
it’s my mind and i’ll think what i want
