1. I'M CRYING

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
Hear what I say

I'm going to ride this surf in
No more time spent sweatin' rent
Hear my command?
I'm breakin' loose, it ain't no use
Holdin' me down, stickin' around
But baby (baby), remember (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 someday I'll treat you real fine

There'll be women and their fortunes
Who'll just want to mother orphans
Are you going to cry
When I'm squeezin' you right
Taking all I can get, no regrets
When I open their lives
And live on their money
Believe me, honey, that money
Can you believe?
I ain't no saint, no complaints
So girl before I [?]
But baby (baby), remember (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 someday I'll treat you real fine

It's my life and I'll do what I want
(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
(I can do what I want!)


2. TAKE IT EASY

If you take your time, you'll get what you want,
If you take your time, honey, you'll get just what you want.
So don't hurry me, don't worry me, take it easy baby.

If you take it slow, then you'll find I know,
If you take it slow. You'll get that feeling more and more.
So don't hurry me, hurry me, worry me, take it easy, baby.

I said I won't be like I used to know
You get my feeling of my pride and joy,
When I'm holdin' you baby, I feel like a baby,
But if you take your time, you'll get what you want.
So don't hurry me, hurry me, worry me, take it easy.

Take it easy, honey….and don't worry…don't rush me darlin'…

I said I won't be like I used to know
You get my feeling of my pride and joy,
When I'm holdin' you baby, I feel like a baby,
But if you take it slow, then you'll find I know,
If you take it slow, you gonna feel it more and more.
So don't hurry me, hurry me, worry me, take it easy, baby.
