IT'S MY LIFE Lyrics

(Atkins/Derico)

 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 some day

 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 won't do ???? ??? ????
 Are you gonna cry, when I'm squeezin' the rye
 Takin' all I can get, no regrets
 When I, openly lie
 And leave only money
 Believe me honey, that money
 Can you believe, I ain't no saint
 No complaints
 So girl go out
 Hand it out

 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

 (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)
