My Life '06 - Mary J. Blige

La di da da da

La la la la la, la la la, la la

Ooh

(My life, my life, my life, my life in the sunshine)

If you looked in my life, you’d see what I see

If you looked in my life, you’d see what I see

If you looked in my life, you’d see what I see

If you looked in my life, you’d see what I see

(My life, my life, my life, my life in the sunshine)

Life can be only what you make it

When you’re feelin' down, you should never fake it

Say what’s on your mind and you’ll find in time

That all the negative energy

It will all decease

And you’ll be at peace with yourself

You won’t really need no one else

Except for the man up above

Because he’ll give you love

(My life, my life, my life, my life in the sunshine)

If you looked into my life…

If you looked in my life, you’d see what I see

(Oh you will see I’m so blue)

If you looked in my life, you’d see what I see

(Down and out, crying everyday, don’t know what to do or to say)

If you looked in my life, you’d see what I see

(If you looked into my life)

If you looked in my life, you’d see what I see

(My life, my life, my life, my life)

Take your time

Baby, don’t you rush a thing

Don’t you know, I know we all are struggling

I know it is hard but we will get far

And if you don’t believe in me

Just believe in He

'Cause he’ll give you peace of mind (yes he would)

And you will see the sunshine (for real, yes you would)

And you’ll get to free your mind

And things will turn out fine

Oh, I know that things will turn out fine

Yes they would, yes they would

(My life, my life, my life, my life)

Ohh, I gotta go through the fire, embrace the flame

Let it burn real deep, can’t skip over the pain

I gotta break through

Hey, yeah, I gotta break through

I’m recognizing the man in the mirror was me

That was hurting myself in reality

I had to break through

Oh, I had to break through

You know what I’m talkin' 'bout

I’m talkin' bout gettin' it together

I’m talkin' about dealing with the pressure

I’m talkin' about letting it burn

Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, let it burn now

(My life, my life, my life, my life in the sunshine)

If you looked in my life, you’d see what I see

(If you looked into my la la la la)

If you looked in my life, you’d see what I see

(La la la la la la la la la)

If you looked in my life, you’d see what I see

(I had to let it burn y’all, let it burn, y’all, let it burn, let it burn,

let it burn, let it…)

If you looked in my life, you’d see what I see

(Let it burn, let it burn)

(My life, my life, my life, my life)

My life is just like your life

All the time
