Verse 2:
There'll be women and their fortunes
Who just love to mother orphans
Are you gonna cry, when I'm squeezin' 'em dry
Takin' all I can get, no regrets
When I...
Openly lie
And leave only money
Believe me honey, that money
Can you believe, I ain't no saint
Who complains
So girl cut out
Any doubt
But baby (but baby)
Remember (remember)
[repeat chorus]
Coda:
(ICt's my lDmife and I'll Fdo what I wGant) 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) And I can do what I want
(It's my mind and I'll think what I want) You can't tell me
(It's my life and I'll do what I want) [fade]
