my life

Billy Joel

Got a call from an old friend we used to be real close
said he couldnt go on the american way
closed the shop sold a house baught a ticket to the west coast
now he gives them a stand-up routine in LA

I dont need you to worry for me cos im alright
i dont want you to tell me its time to come home
I dont 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 i was a victim of circumstance
i stil belong, dont get me wrong
you can speak your mind but not on my time

They will tell you you cant sleep alone in a strange place
then they'll tell you you cant sleep with somebody else
oh but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
either way its ok you wake up with yourself

I dont need you to worry for me cos im alright
i dont want you to tell me its time to come home
I dont 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 i was a victim of circumstance
i stil belong, dont get me wrong
you can speak your mind but not on my time

I dont care what you say anymore this is my life
go ahead with your own life leave me alone
