My Way Lyrics - Violent Femmes

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 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 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.
