[spoken:]
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

[chorus:]
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 won't,
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

[chorus:]
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 (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 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!)

Yeah...

[chorus:]
What am I to do with my life (Yeah)
(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 (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 tell me just what I wanna do, do
I'm so fed up with people tellin' me to be
Someone else but me

[chorus:]
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) (no)
I (I) can't (can't) help the way I feel (Help the way I feel)
But my life has been so overprotected
