My Prerogative by Britney Spears

People can take everything away from you
But they can never take away your truth
But the question is...
Can you handle mine?
They say I'm crazy!

I really don't care, that's my prerogative
They say I'm nasty!
But I don't give a damn
Getting boys is how I live
Some ask me questions: Why am I so real?
But they don't understand me
I really don't know the deal about my sister
Trying hard to make it right
Not long ago before I won this fight
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live?
(Tell me why)
I don't need permission, make my own decisions
(Oh!)
That's my prerogative
That's my prerogative

(It's my prerogative)
It's the way that I wanna live
(It's my prerogative)
They can't tell me what to do
Don't get me wrong
I'm really not souped
Ego trips is not my thing
All these strange relationships
Will get me down
I see nothing wrong spreading myself around
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live?
(Tell me why)
I don't need permission, make my own decisions
(Oh!)
That's my prerogative
That's my prerogative
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live?
(Tell me why)
I don't need permission, make my own decisions
(Oh!)
That's my prerogative
That's my prerogative
It's the way that I wanna live
(It's my prerogative)
You can't tell me what to do!
...
Why can't I try to live my life
Without worry about the things that people say?
(Oh oh oh)
(Oh!)
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live?
(Tell me why)
I don't need permission, make my own decisions
(Oh!)
That's my prerogative
(They say I'm crazy)
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live?
(Tell me why)
(They say I'm nasty)
I don't need permission, make my own decisions
(Oh!)
That's my prerogative
(It's my prerogative)
