Overprotected

I need time (time)

Love (love), joy (joy)

I need space (love)

I need me (action!)

Say hello to the girl that I am

You're going to have to see through my perspective

I need to make mistakes just to learn who I am

And I don't want to 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'll tell them 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 going to

Do about my destiny

I say no, no, nobody's telling me just

What, what, 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 going to

Do about my destiny

I say no, no, nobody's telling me just

What, what, 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"
