Britney Spears - Protected (Live) Lyrics

I need time (time)
Love (love)
Joy (joy)
I need space
I need me

Say hello to the girl that I am!
You're going to have to see through my perspective
I need to make mistakes just to learn who I am
And I don't want to 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 got to 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, 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

I need time (love)
I need space
(This is it, this is it)

I don't need nobody telling me just what I want to
What I what what what I'm going to
Do about my destiny
I say no-no-nobody's telling me just
What what what I want to do, do
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be
Someone else but me
