Marc Almond - Life in My Own Way
[Verse 1:]
I've got a wayward heart
Searching for love.
I am not so different to you
I yearn for another
But it's always a stolen romance
A quick game of chance
A fly-by-night dance
Or fling with the criminal lover
So you can give me your red roses
They'll all go straight in the trash can
[Chorus:]
I'll live my own life
I'll go my own way
And nothing you say
Will make me change my mind
I'll sing my own song,
I'll bang my own drum,
And every day I'll leave all my worries behind.
Leave your name on the door
And say "Goodbye"
[Verse 2:]
I've learned how to dance alone
Not to answer the phone
I always make sure
I'm just out of reach
Friends ask me to clubs,
To parties, to bars
But I'm never around
I just like a nice cup of tea
Or a walk on the beach
So you can give me your phone number
But be sure I'll never call you
[Chorus:]
I'll live my own life
I'll go my own way
And nothing you say
Will make me change my mind
I'll sing my own song,
I'll bang my own drum,
And every day I'll leave all my worries behind.
Leave your name on the door
And say "Goodbye"
I'm not afraid of the dark -
It's the moonlight to me.
It's the one man romance
You can say
I've seen the light.
Dinner for one with the
Rose on the vase
And my own single bed.
A favorite song will see me right through the long night.
Alone into this world I came
And on my own I'll leave it again.
[Chorus:]
I'll live my own life
I'll go my own way
And nothing you say
Will make me change my mind
I'll sing my own song,
I'll bang my own drum,
And every day I'll leave all my worries behind.
Shout "Hooray!" for a life
Life... in my own way
