My Life

My Life - Billy Joel

Got a call from an old friend

We used to be real close

Said he couldn't go on the American way

Closed the shop sold the house

Bought a ticket to the West Coast

Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L A

I don't need you to worry

For me cause I'm alright

I don't want you to tell me

It's time to come home

I don't care what you say anymore

This is my life

Go ahead with your own life

Leave me alone

I never said you had to offer me a second chance

(I never said you had to)

I never said I was a victim of circumstance

(I never said)

I still belong don't get me wrong

You can speak your mind

But not on my time

They will tell you

You can't sleep alone in a strange place

Then they'll tell you

You can't sleep with somebody else

Ah but sooner or later you sleep in your own space

Either way it's okay to wake up with yourself

I don't need you to worry

For me cause I'm alright

I don't want you to tell me

It's time to come home

I don't care what you say anymore

This is my life

Go ahead with your own life

Leave me alone

I never said you had to offer me a second chance

(I never said you had to)

I never said I was a victim of circumstance

(Of cirumstance)

I still belong don't get me wrong

You can speak your mind

But not on my time

I don't care what you say anymore

This is my life

Go ahead with your own life

Leave me alone

Keep it to yourself it's my life

Keep it to yourself it's my life

Keep it to yourself it's my life

Keep it to yourself it's my life
