My Way Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Little man you've had a busy life
Guess I've had my share of joy and stride
They gave me the rules
And I really tried
But somehow I'm not satisfied

[Verse 2]
So my way, this time it's gonna be
My way, this time it's got to be
Just what I feel just what I chose
Mine if I win, mine if I lose

[Verse 3]
But my way no more the shy little guy way
No more uncertainty
This time it's me without a doubt
I'm gonna see what I'm all about
And I'm gonna do it my way

[Bridge]
Stop the music
I wanna lead the band
Maybe I'll waste and fall on my face
But I wanna be in command
[Verse 4]
My way they'll be no compromise
My way I'm gonna fall or rise
I got the plan and I got the drive
I'll be a man whose glad he's alive
Glad to live my life my way

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
