Refrain 1:
I’ll go my way by myself, this is the end of romance.
I’ll go my way by myself, love is only a dance.
I’ll try to apply myself and teach my heart to sing.
I’ll go my way by myself like a bird on the wing,
I’ll face the unknown,
I’ll build a world of my own;
No one knows better than I, myself, I’m by myself alone.

Refrain 2:
I’ll go my way by myself, here’s how the comedy ends.
I’ll have to deny myself love and laughter and friends.
Gray clouds in sky above have put a blot on my fun.
I’ll try to fly high above for a place in the sun.
I’ll face the unknown,
I’ll build a world of my own;
No one knows better than I, myself, I’m by myself alone.
