Greatest hits: 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 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?
I don't need permission, make my own decisions
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 in spreading myself around

Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live?
I don't need permission, make my own decisions
That's my prerogative
That’s my prerogative

why can't I live my life
without all of the things
That people say

Every time you look at me
My heart is jumpin', it's easy to see

Ohh... Crazy, but it feels alright
Baby, thinkin' of you keeps me up all night

Tell me, you're so into me

For whatever reason
I feel like I've been wanting you all my life
You don't understand
I'm so glad we're at the same place at the same time, it's over now

I spotted you dancin'
You made all the girls stare
Those lips and your brown eyes
And the sexy hair

I shake shake my thang
I make the world want you
Tell your boys you'll be back
I wanna see what you can do

What would it take for you to
Just leave with me?
Not tryin' to sound conceited
But you and me were meant to be

You're a sexy guy
I'm a nice girl
Let's turn this dance floor
Into our own little nasty world

Boys, sometimes a girl just needs one
Boys to love her and to hold
Boys and when a girl is with one
Boys then she's in control

Yo, pull your girl off the dance floor
Whisper in her ear
Must've said somethin' 'bout me
'Cuz now she's lookin over here

You lookin' at me
With that sexy attitude
But the way your girls movin' it
It puts me in the mood

What would it take
For you to just leave with me?
Not tryin' to sound conceited
But me you was destiny

I'm from N.E.R.D.
Aren't you Britney?
Let's turn this dance floor
Into our own little nasty thing

Girls, I can't speak for no one
Girls, but I need them all the time
Girls, I don't know 'bout your girl
Girls, but I know she's on your mind

Boys, sometimes a girl just needs one
Boys, to love her and to hold
Boys, and when a girl is with one
Boys, then she's in control

Here we go
Have no fear
Baby what are you waiting for?

Boys, girls

Get nasty!

I need time, love, joy
I need space, love, now, I need me

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 takin' chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do?
God, I need some answers

What am I to do, do with my life?
(You'll find it out, don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just gotta do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I tell 'em what I like, what I want, 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

So there must be another way
'Cause I believe in takin' chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do?
God, I need some answers

What am I to do, do with my life?
(You'll find it out, don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just gotta do it your way)
I can't 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 want, or what I'm gonna
(I need)
Do about my destiny
(I say no, no)

Nobody's tellin' me just what I wanna
(Do, do)
I'm so fed up with people tellin' me to be
Someone else but me, yeah

What am I to do, do with my life?
(You'll find it out, don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just gotta do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I don't need nobody tellin' me just what I wanna
What I want, or what I'm gonna
Do about my destiny
(I say no, no)

Nobody's tellin' me just what I wanna
(Do, do)
I'm so fed up with people tellin' me to be
Someone else but me

What am I to do, do with my life?
(You'll find it out, don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just gotta do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

Do you feel this
I know you feel this
Are You ready?
I dont think so

Somebody give me my truck
So I can ride on the clouds
So I can turn up the bass like…

Somebody pass my guitar
So I can look like a star
And spend this cash like…

Whatchu gonna do when the croud goes Ayo?
Why you standin’ on the wall?
Music startin’ everywhere
So why dont you just move along?

I see you lookin at me
Like I’m some kind of freak
Get up out of your seat
Why dont you do somethin’?
I see you lookin’ at me
Like I got what you need
Get up out of your seat,
Why dont you do somethin’?

Now you all in my grill
Cause I say what I feel
Only rock to what’s real
Baby bump bump
But I can’t do that with you
Only here with my crew
I can roll if you can
Dont be a punk punk

I wanna see you move
Can you turn me up a little bit more?
Do you like it? Yeah

My loneliness is killing me, and I
I must confess I still believe, still believe
When I'm not with you, I lose my mind
Give me a sign, hit me, baby, one more time

Crazy, crazy
You drive me crazy, I just can't sleep
I'm so excited, I'm in too deep
Oh, crazy but it feels all right
Baby, thinking of you keeps me up all night

Get it, get it, get it

I'm a slave for you
I cannot hold it, I cannot control it
I'm a slave for you
I won't deny it, I'm not trying to hide it
Baby, baby, baby, baby

Oops, oops, oops
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oops, I did it again, I played with your heart
Got lost in the game
Oh, baby, baby oops, you think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent, innocent, innocent

But now, I'm stronger than yesterday
Now, it's nothing, but-a my way
My loneliness ain't killing me no more
I, I'm stronger

Stop
Yeah, like that?

Everytime I try to fly, I fall without my wings
I feel so small, I guess I need you, baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you, baby, need you, baby
Need you baby, need you, baby

What I am to do to with my life?
You will find it out, don't worry
How am I supposed to know what's right?
You just gotta do it your way
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected
Protected, protected, protected

I wanna see you move, move, move

With the taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slipping under
With the taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you, don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do, don't you know that you're toxic?
