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 a house baught a ticket to the west coast

Now he gives them a stand up routine in LA

I don t need you to worry for me cos I m alright

I don t want you to tell me its 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 I was a victim of circumstance

I stil 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

Oh but sooner or later you sleep in your own space

Either way its ok you wake up with yourself

I don t need you to worry for me cos I m alright

I don t want you to tell me its 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 I was a victim of circumstance

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
