And now, the end is near And so I face the final curtain You cunt, I'm not a queer I'll state my case, of which I'm certain I've lived a life that's full And each and every highway And yet, much more than this I did it my way Regrets. I've had a few But then again, too few to mention. But dig, what I have to do I'll see it through with no devotion Of that, take care and just Be careful along the highway And more, much more than this I did it my way There were times, I´m sure you knew When there was but but Fucking else to do But through it all, When there was doubt I shot it up or kicked it out I faced the wall, and the wall And did it my way. Knocked out in bed last night I´ve had my fill, my share of looting And now, the tears subside I find it all so amusing To think, I killed a cat And may I say, oh no, not their way But no, oh no, not me I did it my way For what is a brat, What has he got When he finds out that he cannot Say the things he truly thinks But only the words, Not what he feels The record shows, I´ve got no clothes And did it my way
