If only the rules were built
Upon philosophy that I embraced
I'd hug your neck and kiss your face,
But it's very obvious
That your ideals are not for me.
You'll tell me what to do
But you will see that I do as I please.

'Cause I want to
Do it my way,
And I want to fly,
I want to
Do it my way,
'Cause I want to fly.

The problem with rules is
They alienate the criminals when whose to say
If what they did was wrong that day.
If you'd open your mind up
You'd see that there is nothing that's always wrong.
No matter what you say,
It's just not true that there's only one way.

'Cause I want to
Do it my way,
'Cause I want to fly,
I want to
Do it my way,
And I want to fly.

I hope we have ourselves an understanding.
I hope we have ourselves an understanding.
I hope we have ourselves an understanding.
