Song lyrics
[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

It doesn't matter whether she lives with her parents or not... The song became very popular because it puts across the way that a lot of young people feel these days. Plus it's got a good beat to it

this song is great!! why does it matter that she lives with her parents?? bc it doesnt!! so.. whats the problem?? for gracious sake, its only a song.. her song.. i mean cmon.. you know you love those around you.. but sometimes you do feel overprotected... so.. either way you twist or turn it.. you know you relate to it.. so stop fighting it and just admit it..
great job brit!!

Britney expresses that she just feels that she should have more freedom, which many teenagers can relate to today since teenagers like to get out moread feel more independent. I like the beats and rhythms and I think that Britney's voice sounded sufficient.
