My life  Billy Joel
(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 (*,**)

I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone
我的人生  比利喬


一個過去關係很親密的老友打電話給我
說他無法照美國人的方式繼續活著
把店收了,把房賣了
買張機票來到了西岸
如今他在洛杉磯為人們表演單人脫口秀

我不需要你為我擔憂,因為我過得很好
我不要你來告訴我,該是回家的時候了
無論你怎麼說我都不在乎,這是我的人生
過你自己的日子,離我遠一點

從沒說過你得提供我第二次機會
從沒說過我是大環境下的受害者
我依然心有所屬
別誤解了我
你可以坦言直說
但別佔用我的時間

他們會跟你說不能睡在陌生的地方
然後,他們會跟你說不能和別人同眠共寢
但遲早你會安睡在自己的地方
想怎樣都行,你會自己醒來

無論你怎麼說我都不在意,這是我的人生
過你自己的日子,離我遠一點
