Overprotected

Britney Spears Britney Spears

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 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 wan't, 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

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 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, this is it)

I don't need nobody telling me just what I wanna
What I want, want, what I'm gonna (I need)
Do about my destiny (I say no, no)
And 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

(Action!)
