It's My Life - The Monkees

It’s my life and I’m takin' over now

It’s my life and it’s time that I learned how

No excuses.

For the truth is It’s my life now

I stumble and I fall

And I think about it all

Then I make amends

But it never ends

And I’ve just begun to wonder why

And I listen to the songs,

And I read all the words,

And I seem to remember something that I heard

Of a fire and a cave and shadows on the wall

It’s my life and I’m takin' over now

It’s my life and it’s time that I learned how

No excuses.

For the truth is It’s my life now

I wanna believe in the miracles

But they mix me up.

Then they pass the cup

And I’ve just begun to look the other way

And I don’t want to lean on the stars or on the dreams

On the fantasies or the deities

Don’t I think it’s time to lean on me?

It’s my life and I’m takin' over now

It’s my life and it’s time that I learned how

No excuses.

For the truth is It’s my life now

No excuses.

For the truth is It’s my life now
