歌词
I'm not a crybaby's mistress, a toy on your wish
Circled in red ink, and give it to ya like it's Christmas
I'm not your mommy, not your savior, not your dog
Can't buy my freedom like it's in a catalog
And I will be damned to let a man play God
In a life of my own, just because he's flawed
So what I learned in life, to get what I so desperately want
I gotta be my own man
Yes, I gotta be my own man
I gotta be my own man
Oh, yes, I gotta
I'm the left hand ticking on the timeless clock
And I see you waiting for the timer to stop
Waiting for me as a woman to fall on my knees
To be the hand that feeds the ego
That gives back mediocrity
So I will be damned to let a man play God
In a life of my own, just because he's flawed
So what I learned in life, to get what I so desperately want
I gotta be my own man
Yes, I gotta be my own man
I gotta be my own man
Oh, yes, I gotta
I gotta be my own man
Yes, I gotta be my own man
I gotta be my own man
Oh, yes, I gotta
