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
