VERSE 1:
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.
VERSE 2:
I don't need you to worry for me cuz I'm al-right
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
BRIDGE:
I never said you had to offer me
[NA - NA - NA - NA - NA - NA - NA]
a second chance
[I NE-VER SAID YOU HAD TO]
I never said I was a victim
[NA - NA - NA - NA - NA - NA - NA]
of circumstance
[I NE-VER SAID]
I still belong
[I - STILL - BE-LONG]
don't get me wrong
[GET - ME - WRONG]
And you can speak your mind
but not - on - my - time
VERSE 3:
They will tell you ya can't sleep alone in a strange place
Then they'll tell you ya can't sleep with somebody else
Ah, but sooner or later ya sleeped in your own space
Either way it's okay, you wake up with yourself
[REPEAT VERSE 2]
[REPEAT BRIDGE]
OUTRO VERSE:
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]
