Don't tell me what to do my friend
You'll break more hearts than you can mend
I know myself like no one else
Nothing to defend
My life is full of good advice
And you don't have to tell me twice
Living here in paradise
No rules that I should bend
In my years my life has changed
I can't turn back the time
I can't tell you just what made me change
All I know is who I am
I'll never let you down
The last one you can trust, until the end
There ain't no rules to follow
You can't predict tomorrow
I know just who my friends are,
The rest can turn to stone
Your memories are yours alone
They're yours until you're dust and bones
I know the things I'm looking for
I know just what I want
In my life the times have changed
I'm still the man I was
I don't want to hear your fairy tales
All I know is who I am
I'll never let you down
The last one you can trust, until the end - until the end
In your life you'll be amazed
At all the love you lose
You can't never live that life again
The one thing you will never lose
Is the singing in your head
That will still be with you till the end
