G# D#m
[Verse 1]
G# D#m G# D#m G#
It's a hard world to get a break in
D#m G# D#m G# D#m
All the good things have been taken
C# B
But girl there are ways to make certain things pay
C# D#m
Though I'm dressed in these rags,
C# B C#
I'll wear sable some day
D# G#
Hear what I say
[Pre-Chorus]
F# G#
I'm gonna ride the serpent
F# G#
No more time spent sweatin' rent
F#
Hear my command
G#
I'm breakin' loose, it ain't no use
F# G#
Holdin' me down, stick around
But baby
Remember
[Chorus]
C# D#m F# G#
It's my life and I'll do what I want
C# D#m F# G#
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
F# G# F# G#
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
F# G# F#
But some day I'll treat you real fine
[Interlude]
G# F# G# F# G# G#5

[Verse 2]
G# D#m G# D#m G#
There'll be women and their fortunes
D#m G# D#m G# D#m
Who just want to mother orphans
Are you gonna cry,
C# B
when I'm squeezin' the rye
C# D#m C# B
Takin' all I can get, no regrets
C# D# G#
When I, openly lie
[Pre-Chorus]
F# G#
And leave only money
F# G#
Believe me honey, that money
F#
Can you believe, I ain't no saint
G#
No complaints
F#
So girl go out
G#
Hand it out
And baby
Remember
[Chorus]
C# D#m F# G#
It's my life and I'll do what I want
C# D#m F# G#
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
F# G# F# G#
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
F# G# F#
But some day I'll treat you real fine
G# F#
G# C# D#m F# G#
It's my life and I'll do what I want
C# D#m F# G#
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
C# D#m F# G#
It's my life and I'll do what I want
C# D#m F# G#
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
C# D#m F# G#
It's my life and I'll do what I want
