I wanna walk to no particular destination
I wanna talk, when I got the inclination
I wanna move, when I got the locomotion
I'm gonna do just what it takes to keep this smile on my face

I wanna drive my car wherever they're driving faster
I wanna sail the ship as long as I can be the master
I wanna ride the rails on my own roller coaster
I'm gonna do just what it takes to keep this smile on my face

I was born to be this way
Never save for a rainy day
I just like to make it my own way
And I wanna be the first to say

Don't wanna work real hard, if it means that I ain't livin'
Don't wanna go through life, if there's no room for gettin'
Don't wanna stand here long, if it just means I'm a waiting
I'm gonna do just what it takes to keep this smile on my face

I was born to be this way
Never save for a rainy day
I just like to make it my own way
And I wanna be the first to say

Don't wanna change my ways, if there ain't no good reason
Don't wanna change my mind, without any rhyme or reason
Don't wanna be one way, I got to change like a season
And I'm gonna do just what it takes to keep this smile on my face
I'm gonna do just what it takes to keep this smile on my face
