| You say
|
| I do everything the wrong way
|
| Why don’t I do it your way?
|
| Then, maybe some day
|
| 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’m taking 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
|
| 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
|
| 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 |
