It's My Life - 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 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 want to mother orphans

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) 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)
