Lyrics
Come on!
Yeah!
Come on!
When I say "Bobby," you say "Brown"!
Bobby! – Brown! Bobby! – Brown!
When I say "Bobby," you say "Brown"!
Bobby! – Brown! Bobby! – Brown!
Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me (Now now)
Why don't they just let me live? (Ooh)
I don't need permission, make my own decisions (Oh!)
That's my prerogative
They say I'm crazy, I really don't care
That's my prerogative
They say I'm nasty, but I don't give a damn
Gettin' girls is how I used to live
Some ask me questions, why am I so real?
But they don't understand me
Or really don't know the deal about a brother
Tryin' hard to make it right
Not long ago, before I win this fight (Sing)
Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live? (Tell me why)
I don't need permission, make my own decisions (Oh!)
That's my prerogative
Come on! (It's my prerogative)
It's the way that I wanna live (It's my prerogative)
I can do just what I feel (It's my prerogative)
No one can tell me what to do (It's my prerogative)
'Cause what I'm doing, I'm doing for you, now
Don't get me wrong, I'm really not souped
Ego trips is not my thing
But all these strange relationships really gets me down
I see nothing wrong spreadin' myself around (Sing)
Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me (Yeah)
Why don't they just let me live?
I don't need permission (I don't need)
Make my own decisions (My own decisions)
That's my prerogative (It's my prerogative)
It's the way that I wanna live (It's my prerogative)
I can do just what I feel (It's my prerogative)
No one can tell me what to do (It's my prerogative)
Tell me, tell me, why can't I live my life
Without all of the things that people say?
Tell me why!
This seems a trick. What that I can't have money in my pocket
And people not talk about me?
A-yo tell 'em (oh, no-no)
I can do what I wanna do (I made this money, you didn't; right)
Me and you
Together, together, together, together, to—
Tell me why!
Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me (Yeah)
Why don't they just let me live? (why don't they just let me live?)
I don't need permission (I don't need)
Make my own decisions (My own decisions)
That's my prerogative (It's my prerogative)
Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me (Yeah)
Why don't they just let me live?
I don't need permission (I don't need)
Make my own decisions (My own decisions)
That's my prerogative (It's my prerogative)
I made this money, you didn't
I made this money, you didn't
I made this money, you didn't (right Ted?)
I made this money, you didn't
Why you wanna talk about me?
Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me (why you wanna talk about me?)
Why don't they just let me live? (why you wanna talk about me?)
I don't need permission
Make my own decisions (why you wanna talk about me?)
That's my prerogative
Come on!
Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me (why you wanna talk about me?)
Why don't they just let me live? (Why you wanna talk about me?)
I don't need permission
Make my own decisions (why you wanna talk about me?)
That's my prerogative
Come on! Come on!
Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me (come on! Come on!)
Why don't they just let me live?
I don't need permission
Make my own decisions
That's my prerogative
