Live My Life
Boy George · Other Songs - Boy George
Make sacrifies, 'til there's nothing to give
Everyone says there's rules to obey
I can't follow when things never change
Holding my chequebook, got a leak in the pipe
Food on the table, but the landlord's knocked twice
I want more than the shit on my back
I've worked too hard just to repeat the past
Satisfaction can be hard to find
I go crazy keeping it all inside
Ain't nobody's business
How I live my life
I learnt my lesson
Whether it's wrong or right
Ain't nobody baby
Gonna tell me how
I should live my life
Do live my way now
The?roof is leaking, stack of pillows on my bed
No way to wake up, all the dreams in my head
Phone don't ring, got no man on the line
Things could be better but I still feel fine
Who can say what tomorrow will bring
You give nothing, expecting everything
Ain't nobody's business
How I live my life
I learnt my lesson
Whether it's wrong or right
Ain't nobody baby
Gonna tell me how
I should live my life
Do live my way now
Satisfaction can be hard to find
I go crazy keeping it all inside
Ain't nobody's business
How I live my life
I learnt my lesson
Whether it's wrong or right
Ain't nobody baby
Gonna tell me how
I should live my life
Do live my way now
Live My Life
Live My Life stands as a testament to Boy George's enduring ability to craft emotive pop anthems. Emerging from a career defined by genre-bending experimentation, the track showcases the artist's signature falsetto and theatrical delivery. While often associated with the vibrant energy of the new wave and synth-pop eras, this recording reflects a more introspective side of his musical identity. The song captures the universal desire for autonomy and self-expression, themes that have permeated George's extensive discography since his rise to fame in the 1980s. As part of his broader body of work, it reinforces his status as a distinctive voice in British pop music, blending soulful melodies with a modern sensibility that continues to resonate with audiences worldwide.
