“It’s Your Life” is a song by the British rock band Smokie from their 1977 studio album Bright Lights & Back Alleys. It first came out in June 1977 as a single and later appeared on the album, which was released in late September.

With this single Smokie changed style a bit. It wasn’t just one more disco fox with beautiful harmonies. The band (and Chinn-Chapman of course) integrated some slight reggae elements.

Lyrics:
Who said the web of life is woven in a dream
‘Cause your life is filled with dreams you can’t believe
So the only way you live with it is acting every scene
And you play the part so well, that you deceive
Now and again I find you ain’t got a friend
Who knows, I come and I go, but it’s your life…

Though the world is overcrowded you still found an empty place
And I know he leaves you helpless and confused
And your search for love has often left you staring into space
Just another broken heart, so what’s the use?

How many times have I been so hard to find?
You know I come and I go, but it’s your life…

How does it feel when he’s not around?
Can he be real when he can be found nowhere?

Who lit the flame upon the candle tonight?
And who let herself be lit so easily?
And who let it burn until the early morning light
And in the early morning gave herself to me?
And so, my love, you know that it’s your life…
