It s My Life:The Animals.
#7 in UK and #23 in USA in !965.
INTRO: .. (x2)
#1.
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..
#2.
I m going to 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..
CHORUS:
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.
.. (x2)
#3.
There ll be women and their fortunes...who ll just want
to mother orphans.
Are you going to cry, when I m squeezin them 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 cut out, any doubt.
But baby, baby, remember, remember..
CHORUS:
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.
OUTRO:
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.
(I can do what I want!)
It s my mind and I ll think what I want.
(It s my life!) (Fade.)
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
