And now, the end is near
Lord, you know, I got to face the final curtain
My friends, I'll say it clear
Let me state my case, of which I'm certain

I've lived, I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
More than this
Man, I wanna talk about just a little bit more than this
I did it my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my way (my way)

Regrets (I got regrets)
Well, I've had me a few (I've had a few)
But then again (but then again)
Too doggone few to mention (too few to mention)
I did (all I did) what I had to do (what I had to do)
Oh, I saw it through (I saw it through without exemption) without exemption

And took my time and planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more than this (more than this)
More than this (more than this)
More than this (more than this)
I did it my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my way (oh)

Yes, there were times (yes, there were times)
I'm sure you knew (I'm sure you knew)
When I kinda bit off (I bit off)
A little bit more than I could chew (than I could chew)

But by the help of God
When there was doubt
People, I ate it up, yes, and I spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way, my way, my, my, my, my way

I've loved, yes, I have
I've laughed and cried
God knows I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, now, now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing

Now just to think, I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Woah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, not me (not me)
Man, I had to do it my way
My way

What is a man, tell me what has he got
If not himself, then, people, he has not
He's gotta say the things, he truly feels
And not the words, of one who kneels
My record shows, I had to take a few blows
But I did it my way
