       Fm        G7          Cm
Say hello to the girl that I am!
                     Fm          G7            Cm
You're gonna have to see through my perspective
                  Fm             G7        Cm
I need to make mistakes just to learn who I am
                  Fm     G7           Cm
And I don't wanna be so damn protected

           Fm          A#
There must be another way,
      Cm
Cause I believe in taking chances
     Fm          A#
But who am I to say
        G7
what a girl is to do? God I need some answers

Chorus:
Fm           G7          Cm
What am I to do with my life
(You will find it out don't worry)
Fm           G7                   Cm
How am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just got to do it your way)
Fm      A#              D#
I can't help the way I feel
        G#
But my life has been so
Fm     G7    Cm
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

Chorus

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

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
Action!

Chorus

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!)

Chorus
