(I never realized how great these lyrics are until today!! HA! I love it! Billy Joel, you genius!)

(selections from) My Life - Billy Joel

I don't need you to worry for me 'cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone

I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong, don't get me wrong
And you can speak your mind - But not on my time

They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a strange place
Then they'll tell you you can't sleep with somebody else
But sooner or later you sleep in your own space
Either way it's okay, you wake up with yourself...

(GENIUS!)
