Overprotected [The Darkchild Remix - Radio Edit] by Britney Spears

4, 3, 2, 1

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

And 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, 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 '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

And 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, 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

I don't need nobody telling me
Just what I wanna, what I want
What, what I'm gonna do about my destiny
I say no, no, nobody's just telling me
Just what I wanna do, do
I'm so fed up with people
Telling me to be someone else but me

What am I to do with my life?
What am I to do, 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 telling me
Just what I wanna, what I want
What, what I'm gonna do about my destiny
I say no, no, nobody's just telling me
Just what I wanna do, do
I'm so fed up with people
Telling me to be someone else but me

What am I to do, 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
