Don't Need Permission

Sit yourself down, stop talking and listen to me

I know what you're like and you like what you see

I'm tired of games, you play by my rules or leave

I know what I want and I get what I need

You want this, you earn it

I know that I'm worth it, see it in my eyes

I'm tired of waiting, it's my time you're wasting

I won't apologize

Gotta be selfish

Take it or leave it

It's my decision, I don't need permission to be myself

Gotta be selfish

You better believe it

This ain't an audition, I don't need permission to be myself

Although you may try

Not sure you can handle this

Just watch and learn, 'cause, baby, I'll never quit

You want this, you earn it

I know that I'm worth it, see it in my eyes

I'm tired of waiting, it's my time you're wasting

I won't apologize

I gotta be selfish

Take it or leave it

It's my decision, I don't need permission to be myself

Gotta be selfish

Better believe it

This ain't an audition, I don't need permission to be myself

Get what I want, get what I need

Oh, I'm not saying sorry, I'm not saying please

I get what I want, I get what I need

Ooh, I'm not saying sorry, I'm not saying please

Please, please, please

Gotta be selfish

Take it or leave it

Now you gotta listen, I don't need permission to be myself

Gotta be selfish

Take it or leave it

It's my decision, I don't need permission to be myself

Gotta be selfish

Better believe it

This ain't an audition, I don't need permission to be myself

Ooh, get what I want, get what I need

Oh, I'm not saying sorry, I'm not saying please

Please, please

(Get what I want, get what I need)
