My Life

Billy Joel

1. 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.
   
   
R: 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
   
2. 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
   But sooner or later you sleep
   In your own space
   Either way it's okay to wake up with yourself
   
R:
*:

   
   I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
   Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone
