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 My own crazy patented way
