Lyrics
[Intro]
I need time, love, joy
I need space, love
I need me
Action!
[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
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 gotta do it your way
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected
[Verse 2]
I'll 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
[PreChorus]
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 gotta do it your way
I can't help the way I feel
Help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected
[Bridge]
I need time, love
I need space
This is it
[Refrain]
I don't need nobody telling 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
[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 gotta do it your way
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected
[Refrain]
I don't need nobody telling me just what I wanna
What I, what, what, what I'm gonna
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
[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 gotta do it your way
Oh, I can't help the way I feel
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected
Over
