Song information

Title: My Life
Artist: Billy Joel
Album: 52nd Street

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

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 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

And you can speak your mind

But not on my time



INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE



I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life

Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone
