Animals – I'm Crying 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 going to ride this surf in
No more time spent sweatin' rent
Hear my command?
I'm breakin' loose, it ain't no use
Holdin' me down, stickin' 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 someday I'll treat you real fine.

There'll be women and their fortunes
Who'll just want to mother orphans
Are you going to cry
When I'm squeezin' you right
Taking all I can get, no regrets
When I open their lives
And live on their money
Believe me, honey, that money
Can you believe?
I ain't no saint, no complaints
So girl before I [?]
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 someday 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!)
