My Prerogative (Bobby Brown cover) 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
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 descisions (oh)
That's my prerogative
That's my prerogative
[It's my prerogative]
Its 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 descisions (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 descisions (oh)
That's my prerogative
That's my prerogative
Its 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?
Ohh...
[Shout]
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 descisions (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 descisions
(ahhh)That's my prerogative
[That's my prerogative]
But they can never take away your truth
But the question is..
Can you handle mine?
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
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
Why don't they just let me live? (tell me why)
I don't need permission
Make my own descisions (oh)
That's my prerogative
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
Why don't they just let me live? (tell me why)
I don't need permission
Make my own descisions (oh)
That's my prerogative
Why don't they just let me live? (tell me why)
I don't need permission
Make my own descisions (oh)
That's my prerogative
Without all of the things that people say?
Why don't they just let me live? (tell me why)
I don't need permission
Make my own descisions (oh)
That's my prerogative
Why don't they just let me live? (tell me why)
(they say I'm nasty)I don't need permission
Make my own descisions
(ahhh)That's my prerogative

its like people dig britney for not conforming to the norms of 'pop singers'..., shes only a normal 22 yr old. OH MY GOd brit gets spots, doesnt wear make up 24/7, has dirty hair sometimes and doesnt dress up like a dolly...., wahoooooo shes a normal girl and i wish people would realise that! good on the girl for standing up and saying 'fuk u all'
Can anyone tell me what 'I'm really not souped' means?!
A bit ironic, seeing as what's happening nowadays.
it's all about how she wants to be free and left alone. She has a life too and she has the right to live it in her own way. it's her prerogative.
This is a great song. I'm not a big fan of hers but I love this song. She's really taking a stand and telling people it's her life and she can do whatever the fuck she wants to do.
FANTASTIC.
This is a cover of Bobby Brown's song.. it 's not as bad the covers she'd done... hmm
It's not that bad, but the original is classic - you can't compare.
Most people do.
She didn't ruin the song. She made it her own and surprise surprise, it's another hit.
