Doing It My Way
(专辑: Lookin' For A Love Again - 1974)
Do whatever gets you off I
can see you now, laid back in your apartments and homes, or whatever Feeling high, feeling good You all live to yourself, you know It all takes me back to something I
would like to say to you It says I
remember when When it was just a
dream But it 'came a
reality with so many material Material things The
love we once shared Is no longer there We're both running fast, running fast and Going nowhere But now it looks like it's all letting in I'd like to pick up the
pieces and start all over again But I've got to do it my way That's the
only way I
know Lord help me I-I-I I'm tired of going on here, see And I
refuse to let anything, anything stand in my way Stand in my way, stand in my way, yeah, yeah, yeah I
remember when I
was seventeen Still at the
hand of years And my nose was still clean Mother and father Oh, they passing on some good advice But oh, I
couldn't let them, I
couldn't let them memorize Looking back, looking back over the
years The
things I
went through, where went the
cheer Doing it my way That's the
only way I
know, oh yeah I
went as long as I
could on here, see If you can't handle something, brother, you better let it leave Go or stay, yeah, yeah, yeah It's just like this particular night, you know While I
was down a
little early I
came to Massachusetts before I
knew I
don't know, somebody thought I
couldn't feel it At that particular time, so I'm back tonight And I
feel pretty good Even a
little, little end of this Got its way of breaking a
tear Doing it this way And he's not gonna go on here, see Help me say Bobby if I
can help ya, I'm gonna let it lay Least I
put my hat on, get on out the
door Or get on out your way What you say, yeah? That's what says I'm doing it my way, my way, my ohh, ooh At this point in time, look at ya, I
let them groove on See, that's the
kind of song that you put on You know what I
mean? When you got something that takes a
long time to do it Something so good you do it over and over again Y'all know what I'm talking about You know, they keep changing the
record player The
record player, the
stereo, you know what I
mean? Just like every time I
would get down with my ol' lady, the
phone would ring I'd take it off the
hook Well, hope everybody's having a
party And when I
party, I
party I
love to party, I
party I
just like to, I'm just expressing myself I
bet y'all understand that
