[English]

Wake up, momma's mad 'cause I stayed up

Sneakin' out tryna meet with someone I shouldn't see

Picking apart what's wrong with me

My house, sometimes it gets too loud

So I wait 'til my girls pull up in their dad's M3

Careful that we don't lose those keys

Oh, never wanna do what I'm told

Even if I mess it all up and make a million mistakes

At least I can say that I did it my way

Gas pedal like '95, flying eastbound

Hands up, no slowing me down

And if my heart breaks, at least I did it my way

Like a firework showing up over your town

Even if it all burns out, I did it my way

Thick hair, big curls and they all stare

Yeah, I tried to fit in your box of pink Barbie dolls

Found I still couldn't win them all

I kinda miss being young, dumb and naive

'Cause now I realize growing up ain't what it seems

So now I just live for today

And if I make a couple mistakes

At least I can say that I did it my way

Gas pedal like '95, flying eastbound

Hands up, no slowing me down

And if my heart breaks, at least I did it my way

Like a firework showing up over your town

Even if it all burns out

I did it my way, way, way, way

I did it my way, way, way

I did it my way, way

I did it my way

Oh, never wanna do what I'm told

Even if I mess it all up and make a million mistakes

At least I can say that I did it my way

Gas pedal like '95, flying eastbound

Hands up, no slowing me down

And if my heart breaks, at least I did it my way

Like a firework showing up over your town

Even if it all burns out

I did it my way, way, way, way

I did it my way, way, way

I did it my way, way

I did it my way

Yeah, I did it my way
