I need time (time) (love)

Joy (joy)

I need space (love)

I need me

(Action)

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 got to do it your way)

I can't help the way I feel

But my life has been so overprotected

I 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 realized I'm overprotected

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 got to do it your way)

I can't help the way I feel

(Help the way I feel)

But my life has been so overprotected

I need time (love)

I need space (This is it)

I don't need nobody telling me just what I wanna

What I wha wha what I'm gonna (I need)

Do about my destiny

(I say NO)

Nobody's telling me just what I wanna (do)

I'm so fed up with people telling me to be

Someone else but me
