You say, I do everything the wrong way

Why don't I do it your way

Then maybe someday

I'll be just like you



But I say, I'm gonna do it my way

The "I might fail but I'll try" way

Well that's been done but it's ok

I'll do what I wanna do



Cause' I don't want

To live your dream,

I don't want to live your dream



No way, I'll take my chances this time

I've gotta go and live life

And I won't let you try and take mine

I just won't let you



Cause' I don't want

To live your dream,

I don't want to live your dream

I won't change what I believe

I won't change what I believe



So try to hold me if you want

Try to control me if you want

But you won't keep me down

I'm not your clown

I've got to find my own way now

So try to hold me if you want



But I say, I'm gonna do it my way

The "I might fail but I'll try" way

Well that's been done but it's ok

I'll do what I wanna do



Cause' I don't want

To live your dream,

I don't want to live your dream

I won't change what I believe

I won't change what I believe



You say, I do everything the wrong way
