  I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
  I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
  I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
  Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone
  
  I never said you had to offer me a second chance
  I never said I was a victim of circumstance
  I still belong, don't get me wrong
  And you can speak you mind
  But not on my time
  
  They will tell you you can't sleep alone
  In a strange place
  Then they'll tell you you can't sleep
  With somebody else
  Ah, but sooner or later you sleep
  In your own space
  Either way it's okay
  You wake up with yourself

  I think this is the perfect song to sing to the JW's. My mom was always a Billy Joel fan....maybe I could use this on her.....

  I've always thought the same thing when I hear that song.

  Here's another bunck of lyrics I like by George Michael...from his song Freedom.......

  I think there's something you should know
  I think it's time I told you so
  There's something deep inside of me
  There's someone else I've got to be
  Take back your picture in a frame
  Take back your singing in the rain
  I just hope you understand
  Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

  ll we have to do now
  Is take these lies and make them true somehow
  All we have to see
  Is that I don't belong to you
  And you don't belong to me
  Freedom
  You've gotta give for what you take
  Freedom
  You've gotta give for what you take

  Well it looks like the road to heaven
  But it feels like the road to hell
  When I knew which side my bread was buttered
  I took the knife as well
  Posing for another picture
  Everybody's got to sell
  But when you shake your ass
  They notice fast
  And some mistakes were built to last

  There are a few people in my life who I would have given a copy of that record to. My father for one. My parents just didn't get it. My life is MY life, not theirs!!
