Rick Derringer - I Didn’t Ask To Be Born lyrics

I didn't ask to be born
Nobody asked me if I wanted to be
I didn't ask to be born
But since I was I'm gonna
Live my life for me

Mama, she keeps tellin' me what
I ought to do
And papa keeps a counting of what I owe

Is when it all comes down is all I know

I didn't ask to be born
Nobody asked me if I wanted to be
I didn't ask to be born, yeah
Since I was I'm gonna live my life for me
Oh yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm no good at doin' it any way but mine
That's what they call gettin' outta hand
I don't know what else to do and
Just don't seems I'm gettin' to do
The more I talk the less they understand

I didn't ask to be born
Nobody asked me if I wanted to be
I didn't ask to be born
But since I was I'm gonna
Live my life for me

I don't have time for penning down a check
I'm going where nobody's gonna find me

I didn't ask to be born
Nobody asked me if I wanted to be
I didn't ask to be born
But since I was I'm gonna
Live my life for me

I didn't ask to be born
Nobody asked me if I wanted to be
I didn't ask to be born, yeah
But since I was I'm gonna
Live my life for me
