It's My Life
Chawki & Dr Alban Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's my life, take it or leave it
Set me free, what's that crap papa-know-it-all?
I got my own life, you got your own life
Live your own life and set me free
Mind your business and leave my business
You know everything papa-know-it-all
Very little knowledge is dangerous
Stop bugging me, stop bothering me
Stop bugging me, stop fussing me
Stop fighting me, stop yelling me, it's my life

It's my life (it's my life, my worries)
It's my life (it's my life, my problems)
It's my life (it's my life, my worries)
It's my life (it's my life, my problems)

It's my life, do you understand?
I live the way I want to live
I make decisions day and night
Show me signs and good examples
Stop telling me how to run your business
Take a trip to east and west
You find that you don't know anything
Every's getting tired of you
Sometimes you have to look and listen
You can even learn from me
Little knowledge is dangerous, it's my life

It's my life (it's my life, my worries)
It's my life (it's my life, my problems)
It's my life (it's my life, my worries)
It's my life (it's my life, my problems)

It's my life, set me free
So you bed, so you lie
What you see is what you get
Listen to people and sort things out
Things I do I do them no more
Things I say I say them no more
Changes come once in life
Stop bugging me, stop bothering me
Stop bugging me, stop fussing me
Stop fighting me, stop yelling me
Stop telling me, stop seeing me, it's my life

It's my life (it's my life, my worries)
It's my life (it's my life, my problems)
It's my life (it's my life, my worries)
It's my life (it's my life, my problems)

It's my life (it's my life)
It's my life (it's my life)
It's my life (oh, oh, oh)
It's my life

It's my life (stop bugging me, stop bothering me)
It's my life (stop fussing me, stop yelling at me)
It's my life (it's my life)
It's my life (it's my life)

It's my life (stop bugging me, stop bothering me)
It's my life (stop fussing me, stop yelling at me)




It's my life (it's my life)
It's my life
