SINGER: Britney Spears

SONG:My Prerogative


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 am.
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.
I'm tryin' hard to make it right.
Not long ago before I won this fight.

Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me.
Why don't they just let me live? (tell me why)
I don't need permission, (i) make my own decisions.
That's my prerogative. (that's my prerogative)
It's my prerogative. it's the way I wanna live.
It's my prerogative. you can't tell me what to do.

Don't get me wrong
I'm really not zooped
Ego trips is not my thing
All these strange relationships
Really gets me down
I see nothing wrong with
Spreading myself around

Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me.
Why don't they just let me live? (tell me why)
I don't need permission, (i) make my own decisions.
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 (it'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 live my life?
Without all of the things that people say oooooh

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 (it'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
