I need time, love, joy
I need space, love
I need me

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

* 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 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

I tell them what I like, what I want and what I 
don't
But everytime 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

[Repeat * , **]

I need time, love, I need 
space
(This is it, this is it)

*** 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

[Repeat ** , *** , **]
