My Life ♬ Billy Joel
Got a call from an old friend we'd 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.
I don't need you to worry for me cause 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 I was a victim of circumstance
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 can't sleep with somebody else
Ah but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
Either way it's O.K. you wake up with yourself
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.
I don't need you to worry for me cause 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 I was a victim of circumstance
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 can't sleep with somebody else
Ah but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
Either way it's O.K. you wake up with yourself
古い友達から電話があった
かつてはとても親しかった
彼は言う
アメリカ人のやり方ではやっていけないよ
店を閉め 家を売り
西海岸へのチケットを買い
ロスに日常のマンネリに立ち向かいに行った
おまえがオレのことを心配する必要はない
オレは大丈夫だから
おまえに家に帰って来いと言って欲しくはない
おまえがなんと言おうとオレは気にしない
これはオレの人生だから
自分の人生を行けよ
オレは放っておいて
おまえがオレに
２度目のチャンスを申し出なきゃいけないなんて言ってないよ
オレが状況の被害者だとは言ってないよ
間違えないで欲しい
オレはまだここにいる
おまえは心のうちを打ち明けることも出来る
でもオレの時じゃない
