Marc Almond - Life in My Own Way lyrics

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
