It's My Life (Live)

It's My Life (Live) - Eric Burdon

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

And baby baby

Remember remember

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

It's my mind and I'll think like 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

While I'm squeezin' them dry

Takin' 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 throw 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 like 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

It's my mind and I'll think like 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)

(It's my mind and I'll think like I want)

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

Show me I'm wrong hurt me sometime

But some day I'll treat you real fine
