Don't think that you can tell me what to think 

I'm the one who knows what's good for me 

And I'm stating my independence 

Gonna take the road I'm gonna take 

And I'm gonna make my own mistakes 

It's my life

I decide



* I decide, how I live

I decide, who I love

choice is mine and no one gets to make my mind up 

I decide

I decide where I go, what I need, who I know 

I'm the one who's running my life

I decide, I decide



Don't think you're ever gonna hold me down

Couldn't do it then can't do it now

I'm kicking down all the fences

I'm gonna do it all and do too much

And if I mess the whole thing up 

It's my right

I decide



[Repeat *]



I'm taking my own chances

I'm finding my own answers

I'm only answering to me

And that's the way it's gonna be

I decide 

Ohh yeah yeah 

I decide

I decide



[Repeat *]



I decide how I live

I decide who I love

Choice is mine and no one gets to make my mind up I decide
