Lyrics I Love the Life I Live - Carmen McRae

I Love the Life I Live

I see you watching me just like a hawk
I don’t mind the way you talk
But if you touch me
Something’s gotta give
I live the life I love
And I love the life I live
My diamond ring and my money too
Tomorrow night they could belong to you
The girls move me at their will
I live the life I love
And I love the life I live
I may lay a hundred on a bet this time
Tomorrow night can’t cover your dime
If I’m flat my kitten digs me still
I’m just tryin' tell you daddy
How I feel
You see me walkin' as I pass you by
Don’t talk about me 'cause I could be high
Just forgive me
If you will
I live the life I love
And I love the life I live
Yeah
My private life you just may not dig
But your aspersions will not flip my wig
Opinions hold water like a sieve
I live the life I love
And I love the life I live
I may lay a hundred on a bet this time
Tomorrow night can’t cover your dime
If I’m flat my kitten digs me still
I’m just tryin' to tell you daddy
How I feel
You see me walkin' as I pass you by
Don’t talk about me 'cause I could be high
Just forgive me
If you will
I live the life I love
And I love the life I live
I live the life I love
And I love the life I live
I live my life
Just let the door knob hit you
