Overprotected

[spoken:]

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 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



[chorus:]

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 them what I like,

What I won't,

And 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



[chorus:]

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 (Help the way I feel)

But my life has been so overprotected



I need time

Love

I need space

(This is it)



I don't need nobody tellin' me just what I wanna

What I what, what, what I'm gonna (I need)

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!)



Yeah...



[chorus:]

What am I to do with my life (Yeah)

(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 (Feel)

But my life has been so overprotected



I don't need nobody tellin' me just what I wanna

What I what, what, what I'm gonna

Do about my destiny

(I say no, no)

Nobody's tell me just what I wanna do, do

I'm so fed up with people tellin' me to be

Someone else but me



[chorus:]

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) (no)

I (I) can't (can't) help the way I feel (Help the way I feel)

But my life has been so overprotected
