Nobody's telling me just what I wanna...

I need... time

-Time
Love...
Joy...
-Joy
I need... space
-Love
I need... me

-Action!

Say hello to the girl that I am
You're gonna have to see through my perspective
I need to make mistakes just to learn who I am
And I don't wanna be so damn protected

There must be another way
'Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do
God, I need some answers

What am I to do with my life
-You will find it out don't worry
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
-You just got to do it your way
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I tell 'em what I like
What I want
What I don't
But every time I do I stand corrected
Things that I've been told
I can't believe what I hear about the world, I realize
I'm overprotected

There must be another way
'Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do
God, I need some answers

What am I to do with my life
-You will find it out don't worry
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
-You just got to do it your way
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I need… time,
Love...
I need… space
-This is it, this is it-

I don't need nobody telling me just what I wanna
What I-what-what-what I'm gonna
Do about my destiny
I Say no-no
Nobody's telling me just what I wanna do-do
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be
Someone else but me

-Action!

What am I to do with my life
-You will find it out don't worry
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
-You just got to do it your way
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected
I don't need nobody telling me just what I wanna
What I-what-what-what I'm gonna
Do about my destiny
I Say no-no
Nobody's telling me just what I wanna do-do
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be
Someone else but me

What am I to do with my life
-You will find it out don't worry
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
-You just got to do it your way
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected.
