[ti:My Life]
[ar:billy joel]
[00:30.00] Got a call from an old friend
[00:32.25] We used to be real close
[00:37.25] Said he couldn't go on the American way
[00:44.46] Closed the shop,sold the house,
[00:46.21] Bought a ticket to the West Coast
[00:51.87] Now,he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.
[01:10.11] I don't need you to worry for me 'cause I'm alright
[01:17.51] I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
[01:24.86] I don't care what you say anymore,this is my life
[01:32.16] Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone
[01:37.46] I never said you had to offer me a second chance
[01:44.50] I never said I was a victim of circumstance
[01:50.60] I still belong,don't get me wrong
[01:58.15] And you can speak your mind
[02:01.15] But not on my time
[02:05.30] They will tell you you can't sleep alone
[02:07.55] In a strange place
[02:12.60] Then they'll tell you you can't sleep
[02:15.30] With somebody else
[02:19.95] Ah,but sooner or later,you sleep
[02:22.65] In your own space
[02:27.20] Either way,it's okay
[02:29.00] You wake up with yourself
[02:45.44] I don't need you to worry for me 'cause I'm alright
[02:52.84] I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
[03:00.14] I don't care what you say anymore,this is my life
[03:07.58] Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone
[03:12.58] I never said you had to offer me a second chance
[03:19.88] I never said I was a victim of circumstance
[03:26.23] I still belong,don't get me wrong
[03:33.67] And you can speak your mind
[03:36.62] But not on my time
[03:55.48] I don't care what you say anymore,this is my life
[04:02.58] Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone
