[Verse 1] I got my own pay I keep it in my purse No man holds my name No man makes it worse I walked out clean With my heels held high Left that crooked low down cat And I didn’t cry [Pre-Chorus] Hear me laugh, baby Hear me tell the truth If the door stays locked I’ll find another route They call me trouble I call me free Got a sharp tongue And a key to me [Chorus] I keep my own dime I keep my own dime (own dime) I keep my own dime And I spend it right I keep my own dime I keep my own dime (own dime) Try to cage this gal I’m gone by night [Verse 2] Out on the line With the whole wide road Sleeping in one town Then I’m gone, light load Saw the jailhouse grin Saw the foreman lie Saw the rich man eat While the poor men just cry [Pre-Chorus] Hear me laugh, baby Hear me tell the truth If the door stays locked I’ll find another route They call me trouble I call me free Got a sharp tongue And a key to me [Chorus] I keep my own dime I keep my own dime (own dime) I keep my own dime And I spend it right I keep my own dime I keep my own dime (own dime) Try to cage this gal I’m gone by night [Bridge] When they put on airs I put on my grin Sweet as a peach Till I cut back in Boys love my lace But they hate my mind I can sell a smile Then I leave them behind [Final Chorus] I keep my own dime I keep my own dime (own dime) I keep my own dime And I spend it right I keep my own dime I keep my own dime (own dime) Try to cage this gal I’m gone by night Singing here to my own tune Lap it up Lap it up I’m singing on my own time. Snuggle up Snug right up But don’t expect me to remember your name. I’m Queen here Singing to my own tune. So touch my gown But remember I bought My own crown.
