Life in My Own Way - Marc Almond

I’ve got a redwood heart

Searching for love

I’m not so different to you

I yearn for another

But it’s always a stolen romance

But a quick game of chance

A fly by night dance

Or a fling with a criminal lover

So you can give me your red roses

They’ll all go straight in the trash can

I live my own life

I’ll go my own way

And nothing you say will make me change my mind

I’ll sing my own song

I’ll bang my own drum

And everyday I’ll leave all my worries behind

Leave your name on the door and say goodbye

I’ve learned how to dance alone

Not to answer the phone

I always make sure I’m just out of reach

Friends ask me to clubs, to parties, to bars

But I’m never around

I just like a nice cup of tea or a walk on the beach

So you can give me your phone number

But be sure I’ll never call you

I live my own life

I’ll go my own way

And nothing you say will make me change my mind

I’ll sing my own song

I’ll bang my own drum

And everyday I’ll leave all my worries behind

Leave your name on the door and say goodbye
