Lyrics from Snippets

[Intro]
I had a dream last night
You took me up to the mountain
The look in your eyes said I amounted to nothing
I cried for us, I want to live my life
So don’t take it away from me
Papa

[Verse 1]
Pass me the grown man’s drink
Hennessy on the rocks, my baby
I'm a bad kid
I’m sneaking out tonight […]

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need no conversation
I promise to be alright

[Chorus]
Oh, why can't a girl just live her life, Papa Abraham?
Why can't the girl just live her life? I'm on my knees
I've got my friends and a dream
So don't take it away from me
Why can't a girl just live her life?
Why can't the girl just live her life?
I'm doing good, I'll be alright
So don't take it away from me
[Outro]
Why can't a girl just live her life?
Why can't the girl just live her life?
I'm doing good, I'll be alright
So don't take it away from me
