Back In My Own Hands lyrics

Well I knew a girl, she was the child of the devil It took me so damn long to see That she could wrap me around her fingers Till there was nothing left of poor old me I had a night job down in the city Where the hours seem to turn into days The frozen clock on the wall it wouldn't move at all I had to make my get-a-way So, I laid my cards down on the table I had a feeling I was ready and able Now I'm living it my own way I hear the music that I gotta play It's so easy waking up to the day With my life back in my own hands There are times when I can't sing this song When the days and nights have gone all wrong But with somebody to love, a little help from above I'll get my feet back on the around before long So, I laid my cards down on the table I had a feeling I was ready and able Now I'm living it my own way I hear the music that I gotta play It's so easy waking up to the day With my life - back in my own hands Back in my own hands Back in my own hands Back in my own hands There are times when I can't sing this song When the days and nights are always going all wrong But with somebody to love, a little help from above I'll get my feet back on the ground before long So, I laid my cards down on the table I had a feeling I was ready and able Now I'm living it my own way I hear the music that I gotta play It's so easy waking up to the day With my life back in my own hands Now I'm living it my own way I hear the music that I gotta play It's so easy waking up to the day With my life back in my own hands Back in my own hands Back in my own hands
