| Strike me down in this very spot
|
| If I ever told you a lie
|
| Just as sure as I’m standing here
|
| You’re my heart’s one desire
|
| In all my life I’ve never found someone
|
| who makes me feel more like a man
|
| And you’re someone I can talk to
|
| So I know you’ll understand
|
| I don’t mean to be indelicate
|
| It’s the last thing on my mind
|
| But there’s something that’s been troubling me
|
| And it’s grown over time
|
| At first it seemed you depended on me,
|
| but now you’re trying to run the show
|
| Please don’t take this the wrong way
|
| But there’s something you should know
|
| This is my life, this is my life
|
| And I know you want to run it for me
|
| But that isn’t what I need
|
| Baby, that’s just the way it is
|
| Oh, momma when I look at you
|
| You’re my joy and my pride
|
| But how can something so beautiful
|
| Be such a thorn in my side
|
| At first you came on so innocent,
|
| but it seems you’d like to have control
|
| Well there’s some things that I just can’t countenance
|
| And it’s high time that you know
|
| This is my life, this is my life
|
| And I know you want to run it for me |
| But that isn’t what I neeee-ed
|
| Baby, that’s just the way it is
|
| And that’s the way it’s gonna be
|
| This is
|
| 'Cause this is my life
|
| This is
|
| This is my life
|
| Ooooh oooh oooh ooh
|
| This is, this is, this is my life
|
| And I know you’ve got it in for me
|
| It’s plain for all to see
|
| Baby, this is my life, this is my life
|
| And I know you want to run it for me
|
| But that isn’t what I neeee-ed
|
| Baby, that’s just the way it is
|
| And that’s the way it’s gonna be
|
| Cause this is my life
|
| This is, this is my life
|
| Oooooohhh ooh oh oh oh
|
| This is, this is my life
|
| Oh oh oooh oooh ooh oh
|
| This is, this is, this my life
|
| …And I ain’t gonna fall in line
|
| This is, this is my life
|
| And I ain’t gonna fall in line… |
