Do My Own Thing

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I spent my whole life trying to fit into a lane

But I'm so over it

I watched my friends fall out of love and go insane

Bet on life and lose the game

I saw 'em quit

I never wanna be like that

A suit and tie copycat

I never was into that

Hey-yo, nanana

I said hey-yo, I'm all good

I'ma do my own thing

(I'ma, I'ma) I'ma do me

I'ma do my own thing

Hey-yo, nanana

I said hey-yo, I'm all good

I'ma do my own thing

(I'ma, I'ma) I'ma do, I'ma do, I'ma do me

I'ma do my own thing

I spent so long with my head buried in the sand

My future needs a rewrite

So I'll send a postcard from wherever I may land

I ain't got no master plan and that's alright

I never wanna be like that

A suit and tie copycat

I never was into that

Hey-yo, nanana

I said hey-yo, I'm all good

I'ma do my own thing

(I'ma, I'ma) I'ma do me

I'ma do my own thing

Hey-yo, nanana

I said hey-yo, I'm all good

I'ma do my own thing

(I'ma, I'ma) I'ma do me

I'ma do my own thing

I'ma do my own thing

(I'ma, I'ma) I'ma do, I'ma do, I'ma do me

I'ma do my own thing

Time won't get the best of me

I see the world so differently

(You do you) You do you and I'll do me

March into my own parade

My heart don't beat any other way

(You do you) You do you and I'll do me, me, me, me

(Hey-yo)

I'ma do my own thing

(I'ma, I'ma) I'ma do me

I'ma do my own thing

Hey-yo, nanana

I said hey-yo, I'm all good

I'ma do my own thing

(I'ma, I'ma) I'ma do, I'ma do, I'ma do me

Hey-yo, nanana

I said hey-yo, I'm all good

I'ma do my own thing

(I'ma, I'ma) I'ma do, I'ma do, I'ma do me

I'ma do my own thing

I'ma do my own thing

(I'ma, I'ma) I'ma do, I'ma do, I'ma do me

I'ma do my own thing
