Everybody's talking all this stuff about me

Why don't they just let me live?

I don't need commission, 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 messy questions

Why am I so real?

But they don't undersand 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



(Chorus:)

Everybody's talking all this stuff about me

Why don't they just let me live?

Tell me why I don't need commission

Make my own decisions

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 in spreading myself around



(Chorus)



I can do what I wanna do (it's my prerogative)

I can live my life (it's my prerogative)

And 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 oh



Yo, teddy kick it like this

Oh no no I can do what I wanna do

Me and you together together together together together



(Repeat chorus ad lib and fade)
