They said, "Oh yeah, it's a tough world
You're restless and you're young"
I said, "Oh girl, it's a good twirl
And your time will come, your time will come"

They said, "You came from the wrong side
He's a page from the end of the book"
I said, "You came from the right side
Took me just one look, then you understood"

With a little love, you will survive
With a little love, you will get by
Do what you want, go your own way
'Cause it's your life

Life
With a little love, you'll make a start
Yeah, why lovers break each other's heart
Do what you want, go your own way
'Cause it's your life

They said, "No future, forget it
You came from the wrong side of town"
I said, "Don't listen, don't let it
Let it bring you down, make you wear a frown"

They said, "Oh, let him down easy
Laugh at the heart you have won"
I said, "That life is for living
Like the morning sun, it had just began"

With a little love, you will survive
With a little love, you will get by
Do what you want, go your own way
'Cause it's your life

Life
With a little love, you'll make a start
Yeah, why lovers break each other's heart
Do what you want, go your own way
'Cause it's your life

With a little love, you'll make a start
Yeah, why lovers break each other's heart
Do what you want, go your own way
'Cause it's your life

With a little love, you'll make a start
Yeah, why lovers break each other's heart
Do what you want, go your own way
'Cause it's your life
