Don't think that you can tell me what to think
I'm the one who knows what's good for me
And I'm stating my independence
Gonna take the road I'm gonna take
And I'm gonna make my own mistakes
It's my life
I decide
I decide how I live
I decide who I love
The choice is mine
And no one gets to make my mind up
I decide
I decide where I go
What I need, who I know
I'm the one who's running my life
I decide
I decide
Don't think you're ever going to hold me down
Couldn't do it then, can't do it now
I'm kicking down all the fences
Gonna do it all and do too much
And if I mess the whole thing up, it's my ride
I decide
I decide how I live
I decide who I love
The choice is mine
And no one gets to make my mind up
I decide
I decide where I go
Where I sleep, who I know
I'm the one who's running my life
I decide
I decide
I'm taking my own chances
I'm finding my own answers
Come lonely and soaring to me (still iffy about this line)
And that's the way it's gonna be
I decide, oh yeah yeah yeah
I decide, I decide
I decide how I live
I decide who I love
The choice is mine
And no one gets to make my mind up
I decide
I decide where I go
Where I sleep, who I know
I'm the one who's running my life
I decide
I decide
I decide how I live
I decide who I love
The choice is mine
And no one gets to make my mind up
I decide
