Overprotected

I need time (Time)
Love, joy (Joy)
I need space, love
I need, need (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 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, 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

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, what, what, what I'm gonna
Do about my destiny (I said no)
Nobody's telling me just what I wanna
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be
Someone else but my (Action!)
