I want a man with a life of his own
With a job that he loves and his own home
And a smile that is his and a room that he gives his own time

I need a man who can give what he takes
And he smiles in my eyes and he loves what he makes
Darling, be my new ride, I swear I won't take all your time
And what I do take, I'll give to you

I want a man with a world of his own
With the friends that he needs
On his own, he succeeds
Nothing is better than him
He'll shine every light
And make everyone else round me dim
Nothing feels better than that
Believe in what you got
And keep what you have
It's right, I'll make it right
I'll make it right

'Cause I got my own life
'Cause I got my own life
'Cause I got my own life
'Cause I got my own life
'Cause I got my own life
'Cause I got my own life
