The Animals It's my Life Lyrics:
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.

[Instrumental break.]

There'll be women,

And their fortunes,
Who just want to mother orphans.
Are you gonna cry,
When I'm squeezin' them dry?
Takin' all I can get, no regrets.
When I, openly lie, ha!

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 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.)
I can do what I want.
(It's my mind and I'll think what I want.)
[Fades.]
You can't tell me.
(It's my life and I'll do what I want.)
