Standard (EADGBE)
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 (but 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 you sometime
But someday I'll treat you real fine
There'll be women and their fortunes
Who just love to mother orphans
Are you gonna cry, when I'm squeezin' 'em dry
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
Who complains
So girl cut out
Any doubt
But baby (but 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 you 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)
