Britney Spears - My Prerogative lyrics

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
Gettin' 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
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
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)
You 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 really
Gets me down
I see nothing wrong spreadin' 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
Make my own decisions (Oh)
That's my prerogative (That's my prerogative)
Everybody's talkin' 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 live my life
Without all of the things that people say?
Oh, oh

(Oh) Everybody's talkin' 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 talkin' 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
