Here are the lyrics:

(Verse 1)

I've never been in love before,
Such a foolish thing to be.
Seems to me the price is high,
So I'll keep my own company.
And I'll do what I want, when I feel.

Watch them fall so easily,
Tamporary insanity.
Some say that true love is blind,
Me, I like to clarify.
While I, I just take my own time, and I.

(Chorus)

I'll go my own way,
I walk when I wanna talk, talk, when I wanna.
Finding my own way,
I walk when I wanna talk, talk, when I wanna.

(Verse 2)

Seems to be illogical,
Love that's unconditional, yeah.
Give your heart to someone else,
But save a little for yourself.
That's why I'm, I'm taking my own time, and I.

(Chorus)

I'll go my own way,
I walk when I wanna talk, talk, when I wanna.
Finding my own way,
I walk when I wanna talk, talk, when I wanna.

(Verse 3)

Don't get me wrong,
It's kinda cynical.
But it scares me though,
So I'm careful with my heart,
It's the only one I've got.
I cannot commit to that shit.

(Chorus)

I'll go my own way,
I talk when I wanna.
Finding my own way,
I walk when I wanna talk, talk when I wanna.

I'll go my own way,
And I'll walk when I wanna and tell you, when I wanna.
Finding my own way,
Well, when I wanna, when I wanna, when I wanna.

That's interesting Dorian, where did you find those lyrics? Are you sure Amy wrote it?

'My Own Way' was co-written by Amy and the Horns band leader James McMillan. It was released in 2010 featuring the vocals of Jo Harman. In 2013 when Mitch said that he went into Amy's studio to work on his own music for the Foundation, the engineer played one of the old tapes that was there and it was Amy singing the demo of 'My Own Way'. So, Amy did record this, but unfortunately it's just another song on the list that is sitting on a shelf collecting dust that nobody is doing anything with.

Do you have the FULL studio recording of Jo Harman singing this song then? I just heard the full lyrics in a remix on SoundCloud. Can you send it to me if you have it? Thanks!

The iTunes studio version is on YouTube ..

 

[Amy Legend]

But what about the beginning and ending? This is the entire version that was released?

Jo sings more of the song in the live version on YouTube. Also there is a 4:01 minute version of the song as track #2 on The Horns 'Powered by Lavazza' EP, which possibly could be the full studio recording. As of yet I haven't been able to find a link for the song or the full EP ...
