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 messy 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 win this fight, sing

{Refrain:}
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 my prerogative

It´s the way that I wanna live (it´s my prerogative)
But 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

{au Refrain, x2}

It´s the way that I wanna live (it´s my prerogative)
But 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)

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
