Come close and touch me ever so gently
And when it's over, turn and face the night
Don't make me offer more than I have time to give
Just be part of now, don't try to be part of my life
Girl, it's my life and it's me that's gonna live it
'Cause when it's done I'm the one that's gotta live with it
Girl, there's so much I gotta do
Before I can give my life to you
Selfish though it may seem each man has his own dream
And I'm no different, I have mine
So don't try to be more than you are to me now
Being in love will take up too much of my time
Girl, it's my life and it's me that's gonna live it
'Cause when it's done I'm the one that's gotta live with it
Girl, there's so much I wanna be
And it's my life and no one can live my life but me
Girl, it's my life and I'm gonna live it my way
It's a one way street and not an open highway
It's my life, it's my life, it's my life
