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
It's my mind and
I'll think what I want
It's my life and
I'll do what I want
It's my mind and
I'll think what I want
It's my life and
And I'll do what I want
Don't push me
It's my life
It's my love
