I tell you, baby, this is no way to live   Make sacrifices, 'til there's nothing to give   Everyone says there's rules to obey   I can't follow when things never change      Holding my check book, got a leak in the pipe   Food on the table, but the landlord's knocked twice   I want more than the shit on my back   I've worked too hard just to repeat the past      Satisfaction can be hard to find   I go crazy keeping it all inside      Ain't nobody's business how I live my life   I learnt my lesson whether it's wrong or right   Ain't nobody, baby, gonna tell me how   I should live my life, do live my way now      The roof is leaking, stack of pillows on my bed   No way to wake up, all the dreams in my head   Phone don't ring, got no man on the line   Things could be better but I still feel fine      Who can say what tomorrow will bring   You give nothing, expecting everything      Ain't nobody's business how I live my life   I learnt my lesson whether it's wrong or right   Ain't nobody, baby, gonna tell me how   I should live my life, do live my way now      Satisfaction can be hard to find   I go crazy keeping it all inside      Ain't nobody's business how I live my life   I learnt my lesson whether it's wrong or right   Ain't nobody, baby, gonna tell me how   I should live my life, do live my way now
