[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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 want to live
[Chorus]
And I want to live
I want to live my life
I want to live
I want to live my life
[Verse 2]
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 killers, the morning is near
[Pre-Chorus]
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 want to live
[Chorus]
I want to live
I want to live my life
I want to live
I want to live my life
[Chorus]
I want to live
I want to live my life
I want to live
I want to live my life
