My Prerogative

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 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]
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
It really gets me down
I see nothing wrong

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
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]

They can't tell me what to do...
Why can't I live my life?
Without all of the things that people say?

Ohhh...
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
[That's my prerogative]
