This Is My Life

The first guy I loved was a loser The second guy was even worse If there was a bum within fifty miles I was drawn to him like a curse I'd follow bum number three to L.A. He left me there on my own So there I was, no friends, no money Too ashamed to go home This is my life Take a look at my life I worked at a couple of fast food joints I parked cars, did whatever I could That's when I met Kit, she worked the street She made it sound so good So one day I did it, I cried the whole time I was comin' apart at the seams It's not like anybody plans it No, it wasn't my childhood dream This is my life Take a look at my life Ain't it funny how the bad stuff Is so easy to believe You know, it wears you down And some days it really hurts If you really wanna know me My heart's here on my sleeve I'm so tired of lettin' everybody else but me Define a woman's world This is my life The story of my life (ooh)
