My Own Time (I¡¯ll Do What I Want)

Walking through the snow kicking my heels
Seems that sunlight never felt so good before
Bet you really don¡¯t know how it feels
I don¡¯t have to answer to no one no more
And better I¡¯ve never felt
Nothing to show, but nothing to lose,
I¡¯m on my own
Cast your mind back not so long ago
I was always busy playing by the rules
Bet you thought I really didn¡¯t know
You were double dealing, now you¡¯re back at school
Something you didn¡¯t learn
Faith in myself
Gives me the strength to carry on
I¡¯ll do what I want to anyway
I¡¯ll do what I want and I¡¯ll do it in
My Own Time
Don¡¯t give that same old pack of lies
I¡¯ll tell you the story how it really is
You think you always had me under ties
Someone better tell you that the table¡¯s turned
Getting your fingers burned, how does it feel?
Now it¡¯s for real this is the deal
I¡¯ll do what I want to anyway
I¡¯ll do what I want and I¡¯ll do it in
My Own Time is on my side again
And one thing I intend
Is to do it in My Own Time
