You´ve got to learn how to leave me be, for us to ever get along
You´ve got to give me the kind of time it takes, to prove I´m right or wrong
´Cause nobody knows what I had to go through-Maybe no one even cares
But all the while as the clock was tickin´, I´ve been holed up in my lair
Doin´ things my own way....My own way
You say I don´t have a leg to stand on, so it´s a good thing I´ve got two
But if I had only one leg to stand on, that´s exactly what I´d do
No one can say there´s a right or wrong way-Everyone´s got their own advice
Now am I back to where I started, after all I´ve sacrificed?
By doin´ things my own way....My own way
I gotta do things my own way
Yeh....my own way
I´ve got these feelins´ I´m tryin´ to deal with, I´m not so sure you understand
If I seem to be too preoccupied, to fit into your plans
It´s just that its one thing on top another-Now it´s one too many high
I wonder how many piles of things it takes, to bury me alive
I´m doin´ things my own way...My own way
I gotta do things my own way.......My own way
Yeh I gotta do things my own way-My own way
Gotta do things my own way-Yeh my own way
My own way-My own way
Oh yeh....it´s just the way it is, baby
