Overprotected Lyrics - Britney - Britney Spears

I need time (time) 

Love (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 tell them 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 

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 tellin' 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!) 

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 don't need nobody tellin' 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 tellin' 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 

But my life has been so overprotected
