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
and 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
And 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
you 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
and 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
And 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
and leave me alone
