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...
