[English]

The first guy you loved was a loser

The second guy was even worse

If there was a bum within fifty miles

You were drawn to him like a curse

You followed bum number three to LA

He left you there on your own

So there you were, no friends, no money

Too ashamed to go home

Yeah, this is your life

This is your life

Take a look at your life

You worked at a couple of fast-food joints

Parked cars, did whatever you could

That's when you met Kit, she worked the streets

And made it sound so good

So one day you did it

You cried the whole time

You were coming apart at the seams

It's not like anybody plans it, no

It wasn't your childhood dream

Yeah, this is your life

...

This is your life

Take a look at your life

Ain't it funny how the bad stuff

Is so easy to believe?

You know, it wears you down

And some days it really hurts

If you really want to change things, dig in and find a way

Don't let anyone else but you

Define a woman's worth

Yeah, this is your life

The story of your life

This is your life

The story of your life
