Lyrics of Overprotected (the darkchild remix)

I need time, love, joy
I need space, love, now, i need me

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, do with my life?
(you'll 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 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

So 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, do with my life?
(you'll 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 tellin' me just what i wanna
What i want, or 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 tellin' me to be
Someone else but me, yeah

What am i to do, do with my life?
(you'll 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 tellin' me just what i wanna
What i want, or 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 tellin' me to be
Someone else but me

What am i to do, do with my life?
(you'll 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
