My Way Lyrics

Gareth Gates

 

 My Way

 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've traveled each and ev'ry highway;

 But 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

 And saw it through without exemption.

 

 I planned each charted course;

 Each careful step along the byway,

 But more, much more than this,

 I did it my way.

 

 Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew

 When I bit off more 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've 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 shy way,

 "No, oh no not me,

 I did it my way".

 

 For what is a man, what has he got?

 If not himself, then he has naught.

 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!
