I was born to run
I was born to dream
The craziest girl you ever seen
I gotta do it my way
Or no way at all

And then you came around
Tried to tie me down
I was such a clown
You had to have it your way
Or no way at all

So why don't you turn me loose
Turn me loose
Turn me loose
Turn me loose
I gotta do it my way
I wanna fly

And I was here to please
I'm even on my knees
Makin' love to whoever I please
I gotta do it my way
Or no way at all

Well, I've had all I can take
I can't take it no more
I'm gonna pack my bags and fly, baby
Or no way at all

So why don't you turn me loose
Turn me loose
Turn me loose
Turn me loose
I gotta do it my way
I wanna fly, I wanna fly

And it's just the way I am
Shorty should understand
That I stay on the ground all the time
And that is what makes me the man

Put it back in on the streets
Say I do that for my queen
And I give her what she needs
As long as she looks after me

And I represent for the block
South Auckland is on top
If I do my way don't stop
Young Divas make it pop

I do it all here for you
Hold it down for the troops
Stepping up on the floor
Now check, I'm givin' it to 'em

Turn me loose
(Oh ohh)
Turn me loose
(Oh ohh)
Turn me loose
(Oh ohh)

I gotta do it my way
(Gotta do it my way)
Or no way at all
(No way at all, at all)

(So why don't you turn me lose)
Turn me loose
(Turn me loose)
Turn me loose
(Turn me loose)

Turn me loose
(I gotta do it my way)
Gotta do it my way
(I wanna fly)
I wanna fly yeah

I was born to run
I was born to dream
I got, got, got
I gotta do it my way
And I wanna fly, yeah

So why don't you
Turn me loose

Turn me loose
Turn me loose

I gotta do it my way
Or no way at all

Turn me loose
Turn me loose
Turn me loose

I gotta do it my way
I wanna fly
