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   So hear what I say   I'm gonna ride that serpent   Yeah!    No more time Sweating   Hear my command   I'm breakin' loose,   Ain't no use holdin' me down   Hold..stick around   But baby 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 some day I'll treat you real fine   Aaaah..Hear what I say   I'm gonna ride that serpent   Yeah!   No more time sweating   Hear my command   I'm breakin' loose,   It ain't no use holdin' me down   Hold..stick around   And baby,(baby)   Remember,(ember)   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 some day I'll treat you real fine
