It's My Life
Amy Diamond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Opened my eyes and I began to see
This is my game, I’m in control
Proud of my name, I can’t defend my soul
Better start reading my lips
When I’m telling you
It’s my life and I do what I feel right
Tell the boys that it’s my life
When I walk the night, woah
It’s my life, my decision
I want you with provision
It’s my life when you hold me tight
Look in my eyes, what do you see
Love can be right if you agree with me
Don’t be afraid, don’t let this stop
Look at this girl who’s got her mind made up
Better start reading my lips
When I’m telling you
It’s my life and I do what I feel right
Tell the boys that it’s my life
When I walk the night, woah
It’s my life, my decision
I want you with provision
It’s my life when you hold me tight, woah
It’s my life, it’s my life, woah
It’s my life, it’s my life, woah yeah
It’s my life, it’s my life, woah
It’s my life and I do what I feel right
Tell the boys that it’s my life
When I walk the night
It’s my life and I do what I feel right
Tell the boys that it’s my life
When I walk the night, woah
It’s my life, my decision
I want you with provision
It’s my life when you hold me tight
It’s my life, it’s my life!
The song "It's My Life" by Amy Diamond is an anthem for self-empowerment and individualism. The opening lines, "I'm not the girl I used to be, opened my eyes and I began to see," suggest that the singer has had a revelation and is choosing to take control of her life. She declares that it is her game and she is in control of it. She is proud of her name and does not need to defend her soul to anyone. She makes it clear that she will do what she feels is right and that her life is her own.
The chorus of the song reinforces this message. Diamond asserts that it is her life and she will do what she wants. She encourages the boys to understand that it is her decision and that she wants them with provision. She also states that holding her tight is a part of her life when she wishes it to be so. The bridge of the song is a plea to those around her to look into her eyes and see that love can be right if they agree with her. She insists that they not be afraid and not let anything stop them. She challenges them to look at the girl who has made up her mind and taken control of her life.

I have to admit... She really has a nice, bright sound. She should be a star all across the USA. Kind of reminds me of the 80's pop girls.

Swede here. I remember when I was a kid and listened to her all the time. I loved her so much that a friend of my dad (who knew her, I think) actually got me a signed poster. And I have it on my wall to this day.
ASHLEY BREATHE
