Tracy Chapman - I Did It All lyrics

rate me

A Cosmopolitan a Manhattan

Call me one

Pour a round for me and my friends

Cape Cod Sea Breeze Long Island Ice Teas

I won't go there or drink it if you paid me

When they come to waylay me

When they close in for the capture

I did it all

I did it all

For the love and the laughter

I did it all

I did it all

I did it all

Slept in late

Stayed up for days

Partied hard

Lived my twenties in haze

Smoked second-hand in crowded bars

With the A-list of B-list movie stars

When they come to arrest me

Pat me down and undress me

I'll confest without miranda

Strike a pose for the tabloid cameras

I did it all

I did it all

I did it all

I did it all

I didn't ask permission

I did it all

What kind of life

Is not an exhibition

I did it all

Crash and burn

And then you know you're living

I did it all

Some pain a few tears after

I did it all

To the last line of the final chapter

I did it all

I did it all

My heat is a wound that festers

Seduced my share in silk and polyester

Oh my great loves

And my few losses

I'll tell it all

When my little black book is published

When they come to interview me

For my made for TV movie

Say I'm the bitch who was a bastard

Who did it all for the love and laughter

I did it all

I did it all

I did it all
