Billy Joel - My Life Lyrics
Got a call from an old friendWe used to be real closeSaid he couldn't go on the American wayClosed the shop, sold the house,Bought a ticket to the West CoastNow, he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.I don't need you to worry for me 'cause I'm alrightI don't want you to tell me it's time to come homeI don't care what you say anymore, this is my lifeGo ahead with your own life and leave me aloneI never said you had to offer me a second chanceI never said I was a victim of circumstanceI still belong, don't get me wrongAnd you can speak your mindBut not on my timeThey will tell you you can't sleep aloneIn a strange placeThen they'll tell you you can't sleepWith somebody elseAh, but sooner or later, you sleepIn your own spaceEither way, it's okayYou wake up with yourselfI don't need you to worry for me 'cause I'm alrightI don't want you to tell me it's time to come homeI don't care what you say anymore, this is my lifeGo ahead with your own life and leave me aloneI never said you had to offer me a second chanceI never said I was a victim of circumstanceI still belong, don't get me wrongAnd you can speak your mindBut not on my timeINSTRUMENTAL BRIDGEI don't care what you say anymore, this is my lifeGo ahead with your own life and leave me alone
