The Lacs
For Once
[Verse 1: Rooster]
If I wasted my whole life like I done this far
Would it make you happy to know
I did it your way, well I don't think so
And I don't know who appointed you
The one to tell me my point of view
And I can't bare the lies you tell
Sorry but I wasn't raised that well
So I'll wipe the blood off my nose
Comb my hair and fix my clothes
Clean myself up and settle the score
And keep comin' back for more-ore-ore-ore

[Chorus: Danny Boone]
Ain't nobody gonna tell me what the hell to do
For once, I'm gonna do it my way
I've listened to 'em way too long
So if I fail it'll be my wrong-ong-ong-ong
Ain't nobody gonna tell me how the hell to live
For once I gotta do it my way
And if you don't wanna believe
Then y'all just wait and see-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2: Danny Boone]
If I had money and a model wife and a brand new car
Would it make you happy to know
I did it your way, well I don't think so
I can't please everybody all the time
And y'all done cluttered up my mind
I aim my truth right at your lies
And I will not apologize
So wipe that look up off of your face
Close your mouth and give me my space
'Cause I don't want what you're lookin' for
And I deserve a little more-ore-ore-ore
[Chorus: Danny Boone]
Ain't nobody gonna tell me what the hell to do
For once, I'm gonna do it my way
I've listened to 'em way too long
So if I fail it'll be my wrong-ong-ong-ong
Ain't nobody gonna tell me how the hell to live
For once I gotta do it my way
And if you don't wanna believe
Then y'all just wait and see-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 3: Uncle Snap]
And as the days go by and the nights get longer
And the haters keep a hatin' and the feelin's gettin' stronger
Tellin' me what I could have been, spoken like a hypocrite
Tell me what I should be now, like I really give a shit
My life, my ways, my job, my habits is all intent to teach about
You read my dreams, it seem you need to practice what you preach about
I listened to y'all, damn 'em all, and I was wrong a bunch
But I gotta do it, screw it, I'm doin' it my way for once

[Bridge: Danny Boone]
See for once I'm gonna do it my way
For way too long, it'll be my wrong
How to live now
I guess you don't wanna believe
Then y'all just wait and see
[Chorus]
Ain't nobody gonna tell me what the hell to do
For once, I'm gonna do it my way
I've listened to 'em way too long (Way too long)
So if I fail it'll be my wrong-ong-ong-ong (It'll be my wrong)
Ain't nobody gonna tell me how the hell to live
For once I gotta do it my way
And if you don't wanna believe (Wanna believe)
Then y'all just wait and see-oh-oh-oh (Just wait and see)

Ain't nobody gonna tell me what the hell to do
For once, I'm gonna do it my way
I've listened to 'em way too long
So if I fail it'll be my wrong-ong-ong-ong
Ain't nobody gonna tell me how the hell to live
For once I gotta do it my way
And if you don't wanna believe
