The Lyrics
I DID IT FOR ME
Listen up you guys, gather near
I want you to hear.
Clear your heads, clear your minds
And when you’re ready then I will proceed.
I tell you it’s all worth sweating for,
I can tell you that I’m now getting more.
I trust you’ll see
What will be will be, I did it for me.
Working for myself I soon found
My life had turned around.
Being on my own, I can sing
Couldn’t give a damn, wouldn’t change a thing.
I tell you it’s all worth sweating for,
I’m so happy now I’m getting more.
I trust you’ll see
What will be will be, I did it for me.
Oh yes!
There’s no time like free time.
What I do now, it gives me time
To work hard and to play hard,
I’ll always play the right card.
Why not try the same, you guys.
Oh, I can tell you it’s all worth sweating for,
I’m so happy now I’m getting more.
Yes, I won’t lie to you, won’t cry for you,
Not inspired by you, I won’t fly to you,
I trust you’ll see
What will be will be, I did it for me.
Listen up you guys, gather near
I want you to hear.
Clear your heads, clear your minds
And when you’re ready then I will proceed.
I tell you it’s all worth sweating for,
I can tell you that I’m now getting more.
I trust you’ll see
What will be will be, I did it for me.
Working for myself I soon found
My life had turned around.
Being on my own, I can sing
Couldn’t give a damn, wouldn’t change a thing.
I tell you it’s all worth sweating for,
I’m so happy now I’m getting more.
I trust you’ll see
What will be will be, I did it for me.
Oh yes!
There’s no time like free time.
What I do now, it gives me time
To work hard and to play hard,
I’ll always play the right card.
Why not try the same, you guys.
Oh, I can tell you it’s all worth sweating for,
I’m so happy now I’m getting more.
Yes, I won’t lie to you, won’t cry for you,
Not inspired by you, I won’t fly to you,
I trust you’ll see
What will be will be, I did it for me.
