[Spoken]
I need time (time)
Love
Joy (joy)
I need space
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 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 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
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

What am I to do with my life
(You will find 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
Tellin me just what I want to
What I what what I'm gonna
(I need)

Do about my destiny
I Say No, No
Nobody tell me just what what what I want to 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 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
Tellin' me just what I want to
What I what what I'm gonna
Do about my destiny

I Say No, No
Ain't nobody tell me just what I want to 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 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.
