Lyrics
A Life Of My Own.
Oh, you put me down, messed around.
Made me feel I wasn't worth a single dime.
Sometimes, I almost gave up.
I took it lying down, I thought that I might drown,
I just had to make the break and leave it behind
But something made me stand up.
-------------------------------------
Chorus
Now I've got a life of my own, everything around me I own.
Nothing you can see is on loan, I've got a life of my own.
Now I can do what I want, see the bright lights and restaurants.
I'm still on the end of the phone but I got a life of my own.
-------------------------------------
My careers going well and I know you can tell,
Everything I'm doing should have come before,
now it feels so right.
Now it feels so right, even late at night,
now I know I'm over you I'm on my way,
Something made me stand up.
-------------------------------------
Chorus
Now I've got a life of my own, everything around me I own.
Nothing you can see is on loan, I've got a life of my own.
Now I can do what I want, see the bright lights and restaurants.
I'm still on the end of the phone but I got a life of my own.
-------------------------------------
Repeat chorus and fade.
