My Way Songtext
von Udo Dirkschneider

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 each 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
And saw it through without exemption
I planned 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'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
Oh, 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

Yes, it was my way
