My Life lyrics

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 any more
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
the 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'll 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 any more
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
the 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 any more
this is my life

Go ahead with
your own life
leave me alone...

(Keep it to yourself
it's my life)
