It's My Life by The Animals

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 this serpent
No more time spent
Sweating rent
Hear my command?
It ain't no use
I'm breakin' loose...
Holdin' me down?
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 someday I'll treat you real fine

There'll be women
And their fortunes
Who just want to mother orphans
Are you going to cry
When I'm squeezin' then dry
Taking 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 go 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 someday 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
...
