I ain't gonna do what I don’t want to,
I’m gonna live my life.
I ain't gonna do what I don’t want to,
I’m gonna live my life.
Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake,
Luck ain't even lucky,
gotta make your own breaks.
This ain't a song for the broken-hearted,
No silent prayer for the faith-departed.
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd,
You're gonna hear my voice,
When I shout it out loud.
Once upon a time, not so long ago...
Tommy used to work on the docks,
Union's been on strike.
He's down on his luck...it's tough, so tough.
Gina works the diner all day,
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love — for love.
She says: «We've got to hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference,
If we make it or not.
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love — we'll give it a shot».

It's my life,
It's now or never.
I ain't gonna live forever,
I just want to live while I'm alive.
This Romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up
It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood.
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams
And our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines
And I will love you
Baby — always
And I'll be there forever and a day -
Always.
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you — always.
