Billy Joel - 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 LA

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 you had to)
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
(I never said)

I still belong (Still belong)
Don't get me wrong (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, leave me alone

I never said you had to
Offer me a second chance
(I never said you had to)
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
(Of circumstance)
I still belong (Still belong)
Don't get me wrong (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
