Aretha Henry - A Life That's Mine Lyrics

Is it ok if I just chill over here and smile
Without anybody trying me
Trying to get a rise from me
Can I just have a bad day
Where nobody kicks me
And makes it worse than it is
Can I just celebrate without somebody
Trying to make it all about them

I feel I've been running
I feel I've been running away
With me
For the longest time running
I feel I've been running away
Trying to get free
Oh you can't imagine what it feels like
I hope you can't imagine what it feels like

Just to have a life
Just to have a life that's mine

Oh just to have a life
Just to have a life that's mine

And it would be so nice
If they'd compliment my style
I know they like it
But they're so intimidated
Won't say my name out loud
But they're so sneaky
Always stealing shh
They would never tell anyone who inspired it
But they're always watching
Always watching
Like a stalker
Always lurking

I feel I've been running
I feel I've been running away
With me
For the longest time running
I feel I've been running away
Trying to get free
Oh you can't imagine what it feels like
I hope you can't imagine what it feels like

Just to have a life
Just to have a life that's mine

Oh just to have a life
Just to have a life that's mine
