Songs Lyrics: Britney Spears

Overprotected

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 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'll 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

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 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 (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 telling me just what I wanna

What I, what, what, what I'm gonna (I need) do about my destiny

I say no, no, 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!)

How am I supposed to know what's right? (You just gotta do it your way)

I can't help the way I feel (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 no, no, 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

What am I to do with my life? (You will 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 (oh, I can't help the way I feel)

But my life has been so overprotected
