## Lyrics

**[Intro]**

Welcome to my life, what I’m feeling

Welcome to my life, what I’m feeling

Kissing with him

Touching with him

Kissing with him

Touching with him

Kissing with him

Touching with him

Kissing with him

Touching with him

Welcome to my life

**[Verse 1]**

I hug my pillow, and you think I'm dreaming

I'm thinking of that guy, that I believe in

Little do you know, what I'm feeling

I'm thinking of him, thinking of him, thinking of him

Kissing with him, touching with him, loving with him

**[Chorus]**

Welcome to my life

If you don't like me then I'm alright

If you're wrong for me, I hope you know that you'll never be right

**[Verse 2]**

I won't put up with you, that's why there's two

I'm thinking of him, thinking of him, thinking of him

Kissing with him, touching with him, loving with him

Really do not care if I get caught or not

You got her anyways, and please go jerk off

You don't know what you've got

I think you forgot

You keeping it up, keeping it up, keeping it up

Enough is enough, enough is enough, enough is enough

**[Chorus]**

Welcome to my life

If you don't like me then I'm alright

If you're wrong for me, I hope you know that you'll never be right

Paris is always a good idea

Or hit the New York lights

Welcome to my life

If you don't like me then I'm alright

**[Bridge]**

Monday, fun day

Tuesday, booze day

Wednesday, friends day

Thursday, I'm dirty

Friday, wine day

Saturday, feel luxury

Sunday, self care day

**[Chorus]**

Welcome to my life

If you don't like me then I'm alright (Then I'm alright)

If you're wrong for me, I hope you know that you'll never be right

Paris is always a good idea

Or hit the New York lights (The New York lights)

Welcome to my life

If you don't like me then I'm alright

**[Outro]**

Welcome to my life
