In This Life

Elise Testone

Compositor: Elise Testone

I first see what I won't hear in this life
No, I don't need to give you any of my time if you don't deserve it
I know better than to serve you, I
I come by what I want in this life
I am giving all I have to this life, yes I am
I'm tired of wasting all of my
I'm wasting my time if you don't deserve it
I know better than to serve you, I
I come by what I want in this life

Well, I am searching for some peace in this life
To follow what my heart believes is what I try
And I ain't got no time for brustle with the phony brother
And no time for a false lover, I
I come by what I want in this life
Well, I am trying all I can in this life, yes I am
I can be a real good friend if you work with me right
But don't waste my time with your business or your selfish pleasure
I know just how to measure what you ain't
I come by what I want in this life, yes I do

Well, I first see what I won't hear in this life
I'm so tired, so tired, so tired of wasting all my
I'm wasting my time, now sugar if you don't deserve it
I know better than to serve you I
I come by what I want in this life, yes I do
Said I
I come by what I want in this life, yes I do
Said I
I come by what I want in this life
Oh, said I
Come by what I want
In this life
