When I was a young girl
My daddy told me so
He said now you’re alive, girl
The blues are in your soul

I don’t understand, I said
I don’t know what you mean
He said that’s because
I see what I wanna see

I lost my favorite toy
I fell from a tree
I found my first boy
And he showed me
Now that I’m older, I see more clearly
But I am still guilty, I still
See what I wanna see

Live fast and die hard
That’s what the kids say
Longer that I live
The more I wanna see another day
Live fast and die hard
That’s what the kids say
Longer that I live
The more I wanna see another day
Oh, but I don’t care, I’m gonna do it my way

No matter what
This world spins around
It’ll chew you up and spit you right back out
Some stand back up, some sink in defeat
One sees it all, the other sees what they wanna see

So with my head high
I follow my nose
Sometimes I can fly
Sometimes I lose control
I don’t understand, I said my eyes confuse me
Lately I’ve seen more than I wanna see

Live fast and die hard
That’s what the kids say
Longer that I live
The more I wanna see another day
Live fast and die hard
That’s what the kids say
Longer that I live
The more I wanna see another day
Oh, but I don’t care, I’m gonna do it my way

Oh, but I don’t care, I’m gonna do it my way
