The first guy you loved was a loser
The second guy was even worse
If there was a bum within fifty miles
You were drawn to him like a curse

You followed bum number three to La
He left you there on your own
So there you were, no friends, no money
Too ashamed to go home
Yeah, this is your life

This is your life
Take a look at your life

You worked at a couple of fast-food joints
Parked cars, did whatever you could
That's when you met Kit, she worked the streets
And made it sound so good

So one day you did it
You cried the whole time
You were coming apart at the seams

It's not like anybody plans it, no
It wasn't your childhood dream
Yeah, this is your life

This is your life
Take a look at your life

Ain't it funny how the bad stuff
Is so easy to believe?
You know, it wears you down
And some days it really hurts
If you really want to change things, dig in and find a way
Don't let anyone else but you
Define a woman's worth

Yeah, this is your life
The story of your life

This is your life
The story of your life
