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 a house baught 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 cos 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, 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

Oh 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 cos 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, don't 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...)
