I heard the news today,

all about your new disease,

this is what you said you wanted,

when you walked away from me,

I heard the news today,

Yeah, I know what your friends all say,

That I'm gonna go to hell, they are probably right

I just wanna go to hell my way.

I just wanna do it my way.

I heard the news today,

All about your new romance,

There's always gonna be someone better than me,

I guess I never had a chance.

I heard the news today,

You are livin' by the sound of the bell,

I still believe life gets better,

When you tell them all to go to hell.

Oh, I don't wanna play your games,

I don't wanna live that way,

I don't wanna do what you tell me to do,

I don't fit inside the box you've made,

No, I will never play your games,

No, I will never live that way

No, I will never do what you tell me to do,

I just wanna do it my way.

(Woah, my way.)

I wanna do it my way.

(Woah, my way.)

I wanna do it my way.

(Woah, woah woah.)

I wanna do it my way.

(Woah, woah woah.)

I wanna do it my way.

Yes, I heard the news today,

You got scars on your hands and knees,

You never woulda been so obvious,

When I was a new disease.

Yes, I heard the news today,

You are livin' by the sound of the bell,

I still believe life is better when you tell them all to go to hell,

I don't wanna live that way,

I don't wanna do what you tell me to do,

I don't fit inside the box you've made,

No, I will never play your games,

No, I will never live that way

No, I don't wanna live the way you want me to live,

I just wanna live my way.

(Woah, my way.) x3

I just wanna live my way.

(Woah, my way.)

I wanna live my way,

(Woah, my way.)

Yeah, I don't wanna live the way you want me to live

(Woah, my way.)

I just wanna live my way.

(Woah, my way.)

I just wanna live my way.

(Woah, my way.)

I just wanna live my way.

(Woah, my way.)

(Woah, my way.)
