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

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 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, 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, leave me alone

Keep it to yourself, it’s my life

Keep it to yourself, it’s my life

Keep it to yourself, it’s my life

Keep it to yourself, it’s my life
