My Own Way (Carnival remix) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I saw you at the air race yesterday
April showers get out of my way
Fear of flying? No, not me
I'm never bothered what you say
Someone's kid just lives for today
It ain't your problem anyway

[Chorus]
'Cause I've got my own way
I can find my own way
'Cause I've got my own way (Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey)
'Cause I've got my own way
I can find my own way
'Cause I've got my own way (Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-hey)

[Verse 2]
Number one
Public figure, what a pain
Just puts another rattle in your brain
Take another green, but it's not the same
So now you're on the sand lane everyday
Dancing with the bulls in any old way
Running like a fox to keep up with me

[Chorus]
'Cause I've got my own way
I can find my own way
'Cause I've got my own way (Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey)
'Cause I've got my own way
I can find my own way
'Cause I've got my own way (Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-hey)
Yeah-yeah-yeah
[Interlude]
I'm on 45
45 between 6th and Broadway...
I'm drinking 7UP between 6th and Broadway
7UP between 6th and Broadway
7UP

[Chorus]
'Cause I've got my own way
I can find my own way
'Cause I've got my own way (Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey)
'Cause I've got my own way
I can find my own way
'Cause I've got my own way (Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey)
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

[Outro]
Yeah, defense, check twenty
Hmmm, listen, yeah, this is how I like it
Teenage floats on top, mm mm
Yeah, settle down
Yes, go on, right over it we go
Shot down when we take the bullets and roll back down
He ain't got promises 'round that sound....

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

This version was mixed from the Album Version. Additional lyrics, apparently left off the original, were included to round out the mix and this version was remixed with the ‘rhythm section punched up, making it ideal for dancing’ for the US ‘CARNIVAL’ (DLP-15006). This mix was also used for the remixed & remastered US album release, and can be found (with a 6 second longer fade out) on the UK 12" single of ‘RIO’.source
