It's What I Wanted

(album: White Lace & Black Leather - 1981)

People always telling me
What to do and how to do it
I won't take it anymore

I got a feeling deep inside
I just can't let it ride
Too many things to bring to light

If I should mess it up
And fall flat on my face
Just pick me up and
Put me back in the race
'Cause it doesn't matter the reason why
Or how many times I have to try

That's ok
It's what I wanted
I did it my own way
That's ok
It's what I wanted
I wouldn't be happy any other way

Oh, no, oh, no, no, no, no

Too many times
No room for no surprises
Too many limits I don't need
I gotta be free
A chance to breathe
It's time to take these things that bind me away

If I should mess it up
And fall flat on my face
Just pick me up and
Put me back in the race
'Cause it doesn't matter the reason why
Or how many times I have to try

That's ok
It's what I wanted
I did it my own way
That's ok
It's what I wanted
I wouldn't have it any other way

That's ok
It's what I wanted
I did it my own way
That's ok
It's what I wanted
I wouldn't have it any other way

I did it my own way
I did it my own way
I did it my own way
I did it my own way
I did it my own way
