My Life by Billy Joel is featured in Movin' Out, the sixth episode of Season Five. It is sung by Jake with the New Directions. 

As a result of Marley and Jake's break-up, Marley tells Jake that he will never change and will always be the guy he is. These words sting Jake and as Ryder confronts him about his attitude in the boy's locker room, Jake tells Ryder to back out and suggests him to "get used to the real Jake Puckerman." The song begins as Jake sings while angrily lifting dumbells. He walks around the change rooms, releasing his anger. As he does a back-flip, he ends up in The Choir Room, performing to the Glee Club, as Marley and Ryder watch on with upset expressions. The performance moves from the choir room to the girls changing rooms, as girls from the showers dance around Jake with towels. In the hallways, Jake sings as he moves from Bree to other girls around him, displaying his true nature. A few people applaud Jake as he finishes, Ryder watching Marley's disapproval.

Jake:
Got a call from an old friend we'd used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold the house, bought a ticket to the west coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.

I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore this is my life
Go ahead with your own life leave me alone

I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong (New Directions: I still belong)
Don't get me wrong (New Directions: Get me wrong)
And you can speak your mind

Jake with New Directions:
But not on my time

Jake:
They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a strange place
Then they'll tell you can't sleep with somebody else
Ah but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
Either way it's O.K. you wake up with yourself

I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home

Jake with New Directions:
I don't care what you say anymore this is my life
Go ahead with your own life (Jake: Leave me alone)

Jake:
I never said you had to offer me a second chance (New Directions: I never said you had to)
I never said I was a victim of circumstance (New Directions: Of circumstance)
I still belong (New Directions: I still belong)
Don't get me wrong (New Directions: Get me wrong)
And you can speak your mind

Jake with New Directions:
But not on my time
I don't care what you say anymore this is my life
Go ahead with your own life (Jake: Leave me alone)

(New Directions: Keep it to yourself, it's my life)
Keep it to yourself, it's my life!
