Overprotected (the Darkchild Remix) Lyrics - Greatest Hits: My Prerogative - Britney Spears

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
