It's My Life
Eric Burdon & 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 these days
Though I come dressed in these rags
I'll wear sable someday, here what I say

I'm gonna ride that serpent
No more time spent, sweating the rent
I've paid my dues, there ain't no use

You're holding me down, stick around
But baby (baby) remember (remember)

It's me life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
Tell me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
Someday I'll treat you real kind

There'll be women and their fortunes
They all try to get a hold of
But you're gonna cry when I'm bleeding you dry
When I take all I get, no regrets have I
Open your eyes, it takes more than money

Believe me honey
Your dirty money don't mean nothing to me
Well I ain't no saint, who complains
You won't hold me down
Well stick around
And baby (baby) remember (remember)

It's me life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
Tell me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
But some day I'll treat you real kind
