my life throw it away if i want to
You don't understand the pattern of my life because my life has got no pattern You don't see and you can't feel the wind That's blowing at my back and saying move boy You think this burning fever in my heart is just a folly And I'm throwing away my happiness by leaving you Well it's my life throw it away if I want to I've tried my best to plant my feet and stay with you but all I feel is roots grow And what man wants a woman who won't satisfy his heart and soothe his ego I sleep all day and run all night and you tell me that that ain't right That ain't what the husbands of your friends do But it's my life throw it away if I want to You try to make me think my nonconforming life has colored me some evil shade You delight and filling up my mind with a little bits of guilt you think I oughta feel Well I'm tired of feeling guilty and I'm tired of having nothing And I'm throwing away this life you've had me shackled to It's my life throw it away if I want to I've tried my best
