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
Yeah....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
Yeah 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 yeah....it's just the way it is, baby
