It’s My Life by The Monkees Lyrics

It’s my life, and I’m takin’ over now
It’s my life, and it’s time that I learned how
No excuses, for the truth is
It’s my life now

I stumble, and I fall, and I think about it all
Then I make amends
But it never ends
And I’ve just begun to wonder why

And I listen to the songs
And I read all the words
And I seem to remember
Something that I’ve heard
Of a fire and a cave
And shadows on the wall

It’s my life, and I’m takin’ over now
It’s my life, and it’s time that I learned how
No excuses, for the truth is
It’s my life now
I wanna believe in the miracles
But they mix me up
Then they pass the cup
And I’ve just begun to look the other way

And I don’t wanna lean
On the stars or on the dreams
On the fantasies
Or the deities
Don’t I think it’s time to
Lean on me?

It’s my life, and I’m takin’ over now
It’s my life, and it’s time that I learned how
No excuses, for the truth is
It’s my life now
No excuses, for the truth is
It’s my life now
