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
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
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
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected
I need time
Love, I need space
I don't need nobody telling me just what I wanna
What I, what, what, what I'm gonna
Do about my destiny
I say no
Nobody 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 to win my life?
How am I supposed to know what's right?
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected
