Britney Spears - Overprotected Lyrics

I need time, love, 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 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 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 gotta do it your way)
I can't 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
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

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 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, nobody's telling me
Just what I wanna, 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
But my life has been so overprotected
