I’ve been thinking it over and I know just
What to do I’ve been thinking it over and
I know I just can’t trust myself

I’m a gypsy prince covered with diamonds and jewels
But then my lover exposes me I know I’m just a damn fool

I give what I’ve got to give I give what I need to live
I give what I’ve got to give It’s important if I wanna live
I wanna live I want to live my life
I wanna live I want to live my life

As I load my pistol of fine german steel I never
Thought I’d be so down and out having my last meal But I know I can do it it just took a few years
As I execute my killer the morning is near

I give what I’ve got to give I give what I need to live
I give what I’ve got to give It’s important if I wanna live
I wanna live I want to live my life
I wanna live I want to live my life
