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 
How am I supposed to 
know what's right 
I can't help the way 
I feel 
But my life has been 
so overprotected 
I tell them 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 
How am I supposed to 
know what's right 
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 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 
How am I supposed to 
know what's right 
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 what what what I'm gonna 
do about my destiny 
I say 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 
How am I supposed to 
know what's right 
I can't help the way I feel 
But my life has been 
so overprotected
