"My Life My Way" lyrics

You can't be who you want to be
If the one you with don't want to be like you
And you can't see what you want to see
If another's eyes don't see it like you
I'm not saying, "Follow me"
Just understand what I'm gonna do
You want me to change the man I am
Just 'cause you asked me to

But it's my life, my way
I don't care what people say

Man, if it was up to me
I'd probably drink my life away
Spend my time chasing ladies
And laying in the sun
Now, don't tell me that I'm crazy
Because I'm not the only one

You can't be with the one you love
If the one you love is a long way from you
And absence makes the heart grow fonder
Well, love the one you're with. Well, that works too

But it's my life, my way
I don't care what people say
Man, if it was up to me
I'd probably drink my life away
Spend my time chasing ladies
And laying in the sun
Now, don't tell me that I'm crazy
Because I'm not the only one

Well, I live the way I live because I want to
And I chose what's best for now and not later on
And what I did today did not make you happy
Then tomorrow make your choices on your own

'Cause it's your life, your way
You shouldn't care what people say
Got to do what makes you happy
Got to live your life your own damn way
But I'll be chasing ladies
And laying in the sun
Now, don't tell me that I'm crazy
Because I'm not the only one
Not the only one
Not the only one
