Lyrics:

Dig this!

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

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 girls 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 her brother
Trying hard to make it right
Not long ago
Before I win this fight, sing

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)
I can do just what I feel
(It's my prerogative)
No one can tell me what to do
(It's my prerogative)
'Cause what I'm doing I'm doing for you

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 spreading myself around, sing

Everybody's talking all this stuff about me (yeah)
Why don't they just let me live (tell me why)
I don't need permission (I don't need)
Make my own decisions (my own decisions)
That's my prerogative (it's my prerogative)

(It's my prerogative)
I can do what I wanna do
(It's my prerogative)
Truly live my life
(It's my prerogative)
I'm doing it just for you
(It's my prerogative)
Tell me, tell me

Why can't I live my life (live my life)
Without all of the things that people say

Yo, tell it, kick it like this

I can do what I wanna do
Me and you
Together, together, together, together, together

Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live (why don't they just let me live, girl)
I don't need permission (I don't need permission from nobody, yeah)
Make my own decisions
That's my prerogative

Everybody's talking all this stuff about me (everybody's talking)
Why don't they just let me live (why)
I don't need permission (I don't need)
Make my own decisions (my own decisions)
That's my prerogative (ohhh)

What is this a blizzard that I can't have money in my pocket
And people not talk about me? This world is a trip
I don't know what's going on these days
Got this person over here talking about me, this person...
Hey listen, let me tell you something
This is my prerogative. I can do what I want to do
I made this money, you didn't. Right Ted?
We outta here

It's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my
My my my my my my my my my my my my
It's my, it's, it's my prerogative, it's my prerog...
It's my, it's my my my
It's my prerogative, can't you see, baby doll, huh
Why you wanna talk about me
Tell me, tell me why
