    Believe it or not, when this song came out in the seventies, I was a teenager living on a farm in the south of Germany. My knowledge of the English language was good enough to understand the lyrics. After the suicide of my father my mother was overprotective and tried to impose her ideas on me about faith and any other aspect of life. At the time I was not able to distance myself from her - and this song clearly expressed my feelings. It kept me going to free myself from the fetters and chains. It has really changed my life.

    Lyrics:
    Got a call from an old friend
    We used to be real close
    Said he couldn't go on the American way
    Closed the shop, sold the house
    Bought a ticket to the West Coast
    Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.
    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, 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
    Ah, but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
    Either way it's OK, you wake up with yourself
    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, 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
    I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
    Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone
    Keep it to yourself it's my life.
    Keep it to yourself it's my life.
    Keep it to yourself it's my life.
    Keep it to yourself it's my life

      I don't think he ever lost his touch. Nothing wrong with his late '80s/early '90s stuff. We Didn't Start the Fire was just as impactful as any other song of his I heard before that. Matter of Trust, I Go to Extremes and River of Dreams were memorable also.

    I'm raised on hip hop. I HATED when my dad would put his music on, BUT, when he put on billy Joel, I would instantly be in a better mood today. Even today, I go from "hardcore" rap, trap, to billy Joel. Easily one of the greats, from the voice to the message that I e understood even as a child. I hope he lives the longest life because even though I've heard nothing new, if his e ergy is half as beautiful as his music the world would be missing a beautiful soul

    When I was young, I'd listened to the songs made by Billy Joel. Of course, even now I love him because his songs are masterpieces.
    This song reminds me of learning English. This song played on the radio in Japan for people who learn English.
    Those days I listened to this song, My Life, again and again. All the songs Billy Joel created never fade no matter how years pass.

      Jorgegavamagli Actually, your use of didn't is acceptable,
      if your intention is to refer to the "past" tense.
      (however, adding a word like "just" gives it more impact)
      "this guy didn't just make music... he WAS music"
      And Billy sure did write some amazing songs!

    • @squishynat

      NatashaDNP It's awesome that you're a Billy Joel fan! I am too. And YES he has written and recorded some of the best pop and rock music of ALL TIME. I wasn't negating your comment (or point)... just letting Jorge know his grammar was acceptable. But now that you mention it - - - Billy isn't really making new music any more? His last "actual" album (not counting live/concert recordings or that classical l.p. he released in 2001) was in 1993. "River of Dreams" was released 21 years ago. His last single "To Make You Feel My Love" from 1997 was written by Bob Dylan... which is unusual, since Billy typically only records songs that he's written. Anyway, no big deal, cause the real point we all seem to agree on, is that Billy Joel is AWESOME.

    Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.
    I don't need you to worry for me 'cause I'm alright

    I don't care what you say anymore this is my life
    Go ahead with your own life 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 can't sleep with somebody else
    Ah but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
    Either way it's O.K. you wake up with yourself

    This song helped me a lot when I was trying to detach from a toxic friend group. We had moved schools together (bigger new school) and, while they where bad in my last year of school, they had become so extremely spiteful towards the world (including me) that one day, at our lunch period, I looked around the table and saw a couple of spaced out introverts, a couple of complete robots, several tools who did nothing but pick on everybody else and an abundance of yes men who always sided with them out of their insecurity. So, I stopped showing up when they where doing stuff, and I finally realized how much they where holding me back.
    “You can speak your mind, but not on my time” and “I don’t care what you say anymore this is my life” both helped tremendously, and I find myself humming this time whenever I think back on that group.
