It's My Life (Live at the Fox Theatre, Atlanta, GA - 10/1/1978)

(One, two-)

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 these days

Though I come dressed in rags, I will wear sable someday

Hear what I say

I wanna ride for certain

No more time spent sweatin' rent

Hear my command

I'm breaking loose, and it ain't no use

In holding me down or sticking 'round

'Cause 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

Someday I'll treat you real fine

There'll be women with their fortunes

Who just want to mother orphans

Hear it in the cry when I'm bleeding 'em dry

Taking all I can get with no regrets

Darling, when I openly lie

And live only money

'Cause you can believe me, honey, that there's money out there

And you can believe that I ain't no saint, no saint to complain

And I'm gonna go out there now and fight for what's mine

Now 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

Someday I'll treat you real fine, yes I will

(It's my life and I'll do what I want) I'll do what I want

(It's my mind and I'll think what I want) 'cause it's my life

(It's my life and I'll do what I want) don't push me

(It's my life and I'll do what I want) it's my life

It's my life
