Overprotected

I need time, time, love, joy
Joy, I need space
Love, I need me
Aja!

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
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'll 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

Tell 'em what I like, what I want, what I don't
But every time I do, I stand corrected
Things I've ever known, I can't believe
What I hear about the world of real life

What am I to do with my life?
You'll 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 (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, what, what, what I'm gonna
Do about my destiny
I say no, no, nobody's telling me just what I wanna
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be
Someone else but me
Aja!
