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 some day
Hear what I say
I'm gonna ride that serpent
No more time spent
Sweatin' rent
Hear my command
I'm breakin' loose
And 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 while I'm squeezin' them dry?
Takin' 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 some day I'll treat you real fine
(It's my life and I'll do what I want)
Don't push it
(It's my mind and I'll think what I want)
It's my life
(It's my life and I do what I want)
Can't get to 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)
It's my mind
