(willie dixon; additional lyrics by eddie nichols)

i see you watching me just like a hawk
i don't mind the way you talk
but if you touch me
something's gotta give
i live the life i love
and i love the life i live

my diamond ring and my money too
tomorrow night they could belong to you
the girls move me at their will
i live the life i love
and i love the life i live

i may lay a hundred on a bet this time
tomorrow night can't cover your dime
if i'm flat my kitten digs me still
i'm just tryin' tell you daddy
how i feel

you see me walkin' as i pass you by
don't talk about me 'cause i could be high
just forgive me
if you will
i live the life i love
and i love the life i live
yeah

my private life you just may not dig
but your aspersions will not flip my wig
opinions hold water like a sieve
i live the life i love
and i love the life i live

i may lay a hundred on a bet this time
tomorrow night can't cover your dime
if i'm flat my kitten digs me still
i'm just tryin' to tell you daddy
how i feel

you see me walkin' as i pass you by
don't talk about me 'cause i could be high
just forgive me
if you will

i live the life i love
and i love the life i live

i live the life i love
and i love the life i live

i live my life

just let the door knob hit you
where the dog shoulda bit you
