I Love the Life I Live - Carmen McRae

I see you watching me just like a hawk

I don’t mind the way you talk

But if you touch me

Something’s gotta give

I live the life I love

And I love the life I live

My diamond ring and my money too

Tomorrow night they could belong to you

The girls move me at their will

I live the life I love

And I love the life I live

I may lay a hundred on a bet this time

Tomorrow night can’t cover your dime

If I’m flat my kitten digs me still

I’m just tryin' tell you daddy

How I feel

You see me walkin' as I pass you by

Don’t talk about me 'cause I could be high

Just forgive me

If you will

I live the life I love

And I love the life I live

Yeah

My private life you just may not dig

But your aspersions will not flip my wig

Opinions hold water like a sieve

I live the life I love

And I love the life I live

I may lay a hundred on a bet this time

Tomorrow night can’t cover your dime

If I’m flat my kitten digs me still

I’m just tryin' to tell you daddy

How I feel

You see me walkin' as I pass you by

Don’t talk about me 'cause I could be high

Just forgive me

If you will

I live the life I love

And I love the life I live

I live the life I love

And I love the life I live

I live my life

Just let the door knob hit you
