Lyrics Overprotected (Radio Edit) - Britney Spears

I need time (Time, love)
Joy (Joy)
I need space (And 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 takin' 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 'em 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 over-overprotected

There must be another way
'Cause I believe in takin' 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 (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 want, what, what I'm gonna
(I need)
Do about my destiny
(I say no no)
Nobody's tellin' me just what I wanna (Do, do)
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be
Someone else but me
(Action)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah) 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 (Feel)
But my life has been so overprotected

I don't need nobody telling me just what I wanna
What I want, what, what I'm gonna
Do about my destiny
(I say no no)
Nobody's tellin' me just what I wanna (Do, do)
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be
Someone else but me

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 (Oh, I can't help the way I feel)
But my life has been so overprotected
