Violent Femmes - My Way Lyrics
And now the end is near.And so I face the final curtain.My friend, I'll say it clear.I'll state my case of which I'm certain.I've lived a life that's full.I traveled ewach and every highway.And more, much more than this: I did it my way.Regrets--I've had a few.But then again, too few to mention.I did what I had to do.I saw it through without exemption.I plan each charted course,Each careful step along the byway.And more, much more than this, I did it my way.Yes there were times,I'm sure you knew,When I bit offMore than I could chew.But through it all, when there was doubt,I ate it up and spit it out.I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way.I've loved,I've laughed and cried.I had my fill, my share of losing.And now as tears subside,I find it all so amusing.To think I did all that,And may I say, not in a sly way.Oh no, oh no not me, I did it my way.Oh what is a man?What has he got?If not himself, then he has not.To say the things he truly feels.And not the words of one who kneels.The record shows I took the blows and did it my way.
