Anka, Paul - It's My Life Lyrics
This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud
[Chorus:]
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks
[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life
Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down
[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life!

Anka, Paul It's My Life Comments
paul anka is like my nutmeg, it makes me asks...what's that something in the meal of my ear.
Cocok lagu nya lebih enak lagu nya di bawakan paul anka ketimbang bonjofi
Sukses terus paul anka
One of the best versions of that song I heard ever! Paul is simply great!!!
As for me, this song not from that time...looks like Paul did know something more!
Vinnie Colaiuta on drums. Easily one of the best drummers ever.
genius! i love it
Original don't have shit on this...
Bon Jovi? Who the fuck are you? Whatever, here's Paul Anka, get the fuck out of here.
PURE A CLASS!
tommy and gina refrencing livin on a prayer?
2 of my favourite artists combined
I can die in peace now
so serious
I love this cover and the full rock swings album <3
This man is so damn clever. Yes, yes, he's referencing all these people but he is also cannily referencing himself! "Frank said, 'I did it my way.." Lest we forget - Anka WROTE "I Did it My Way" for Sinatra. He always was a ballsy, cocky genius shooting from the hip. Check out Roman Kroiter's documentary 'Lonely Boy' from the NFB - even at 21, Anka knew how to play the game with a smart talking streetwise attitude toward the engine of his fame and fame itself. No wonder he has lasted so long. That's talent, baby!
Autostade67 Rock on
Bon Jovi wrote this song though.....
So so good - Frank would of loved this !
genius!
fuck this version
Fuck you.
much love 😍😍
Been listening to this song and others from Paul Anka's Rock Swings album.... You never heard these songs done like this. If you like Rock and Swing these songs are a *must* hear.
Absolutely! Paul anka proves that jazz swings no matter what age. He is truly amazing!!
Suena como a la banda sonora de la pantera rosa o la del inspector de la misma
Seba jajajajaja siiiiii 😆😆😆😆😆
claro, es del estilo de las composiciones con big band de Henry Mancini
It sounds like Richard Cheese.
Absolutely LOVE Paul Anka! One of the greats! Fabulous big band, fabulous phrasing. He's tops!
Much more vibrant I feel the classiness in this part of the song
Oh shit.
#betterinswing
Goddamnit. I can't do anything without Paul Anka being involved.
Paul referencing John, who's referencing Frank, mentioning a song Paul wrote.
the misheard verse is deeper in meaning
im sorry i dont understand, what cha mean?
Nothing deep at all. John is singing about living his life very deeply and to its fullest. He's referencing Frank Sinatra singing "My Way", which is pretty much about the same thing. Paul Anka wrote "My way". Easy math.
Frankenstein (the scientist) performed the ultimate act of doing something "one's way" - he tried to play god by creating life out of nothing..
Ok, i am joking
Or maybe I'm not
Musical Inception
LOL I heard it and was like "wtf Bon Jovi did a cover?" then I searched and found out that this is a cover LOL. Really weird to hear a cover of a song with a newer style made in older style.
The whole album "Rock Swings" is full of great covers.
Black Hole Sun is my favorite.
love paul!!
Listens in Ralja...
Prefiro esta opção, que é a do Paul Anka. Bon Jovi, mesmo tendo um tremendo vídeo ajudando a notável qualidade, me profuz menor impacto. Marcos do Acordeon - Professor de música e Musicista. Vejam meus canais no Facebook e Youtube com os títulos Marcos do Acordeon e Os Novos Velhinhos.
swing style
Like sex in song . . .
Way better then Giorgio's version...
I always think when I here this song, This ain't a song for broken hearted, paid a penny and only farted, referring to the old UK toilets which used to be one penny to use.
I love this version.
Sounds nyc. I think i like it. Though BonJovi is just electric. this is a good
So much better than the original. :) I don't like Bon Jovi version, because it was too much played on the radio, and I fed up with it. However I'm able to listen this version day by day. It's so awesome! :)
fearless00888777 this is original)))
fully agree
Damn moblie blocker!
Should have been Fallout 3's soundtrack
like it
Impagável, no mau sentido.
I think it's better too...
No, it's not. Bon Jovi is the original, it was written by John Bon Jovie, and Richie Sambora
Fuck you Bon Jovi...You made me believe you wrote a good song in a shitty album...
Dear Anka, many thanks, you saved my many days when I was brestfeedin'my baby boy, the rock swings in swin' indeéd, this was a rockin'chair :-) I am so totaaaly'concéited, i enjoyed it a lot, and so did he.
Finally, FINALLY found this song back. STILL awesome.
0:43 the best VOCAL microphone ever!
I really like this but whats with his face, was he asleep in the garden when they were spraying his fence?
Paul Anka covered the song on his 2005 album Rock Swings.[32]
better than the original:)
Just perfect!
You're joking :P
yes , this is the original one Paul Anka - It's my life
just brilliant!
This "Rock Swings" album was the last tangible album I ever bought before I followed the MP3 route :-p
Perfect ♥.♥
Came here after hearing his Wonderwall cover! AM-A-ZING!
Kicks the original's ass.
its such a classic i love it!
@karstentje3 dit is en liedje van bon jovi, gecoverd hier door anka, denk dat jij je bronnen moet checken idioot
