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
I'm only answering to me
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

You're the kind of friend
Who always bends when I'm broken
But remember when
You took my heart and put it back together again
I've been wasting time with ruinous guys
But now it's over
Let me tell you why I'm through
I've got someone new
Who's just like you

You're it
You're the ultimate
It's automatic
I'm sure of it
No lie
So don't even try
To tell me that you're not the guy
'Cuz I've been waiting all my life
For someone just like you
But you're it
You're the ultimate
You

You're the kind of guy
Whose hand in mine
Sends shivers up and down my spine
You took my heart and put it back together again
You're the kind of guy
That knows my mind
But now it's my turn
You've been right in front of me
Everything I need
Why didn't I see

You're it
You're the ultimate
It's automatic
I'm sure of it
No lie
So don't even try
To tell me that you're not the guy
'Cuz I've been waiting all my life
For someone just like you
But you're it
You're the ultimate
You

You're it
You're the ultimate
It's automatic
I'm sure of it
No lie
So don't even try
To tell me that you're not the guy

You're it
You're the ultimate
It's automatic
I'm sure of it
No lie
So don't even try
To tell me that you're not the guy
'Cuz I've been waiting all my life
For someone just like you
But you're it
You're the ultimate
You

You're it
You're the ultimate
You

There was a girl I knew
Who always wanted to be the one
To stand out from the crowd
Always believed that she
Was gonna live her dreams
That what went down
Was gonna come around

For all the doubters, nonbelievers
The cynical that once were dreamers
One of these days you'll open up your eyes
And you'll realize

That girl
Was a one town teenage drama queen
A hyped-up, everyday wannabe
And she'll have changed her destiny
Now she's a somebody

That girl
Was a washed-out dreamer
But she'll find herself
'Cuz she believes in nothing else
And you'll look back
And you won't believe
That girl was me

Armed with an attitude
That she knows how to use
She's gonna get there
Anyway she can
Now she knows what she wants
No one is gonna stop her
Nothing's ever gonna hold her back

For all the doubters, nonbelievers
The cynical that once were dreamers
One of these days you'll know that you were wrong
Who would know?

That girl
Was a one town teenage drama queen
A hyped-up, everyday wannabe
And she'll have changed her destiny
Now she's a somebody

That girl
Was a washed-out dreamer
But she'll find herself
'Cuz she believes in nothing else
And you'll look back
And you won't believe
That girl was me

Life is a work of art
You gotta paint it colorful
You can make it anything you want
Don't have to stick to any rules
You don't need a high IQ
To succeed in what you do
You just gotta have no doubt
Just believe in yourself

Doubters, nonbelievers
Once were her dreamers
One of these days you'll open up your eyes
And you'll realize

That girl
Was a one town teenage drama queen
A hyped-up, everyday wannabe
And she'll have changed her destiny
Now she's a somebody

That girl
Was a washed-out dreamer
But she'll find herself
'Cuz she believes in nothing else
And you'll look back
And you won't believe
That girl was me

That girl
Was a one town teenage drama queen
A hyped-up, everyday wannabe
And she'll have changed her destiny
Now she's a somebody

That girl
Was a washed-out dreamer
But she'll find herself
'Cuz she believes in nothing else
And you'll look back
And you won't believe
That girl was me

(Oh,Oh,Oh,Oh)
[Repeat]

[Verse]
Today is,
So boring, I might aswell be snoring,
Because I'm living a bad dream,
Cause I'll be, With no react,
Somewho i've run right off track,
So insane, of the mundane,
It makes me wanna scream,

[Chorus]
It's a day in life, it'a a link in tha chain,
Beginning the end, they both look the same, round and round,
No new ground, it's a day life, and were down to the game,
Winning or losing, there nothing to gane, round and round,

No new ground,
It's the day in the life,

[Verse]
It's just so, simplistic,
Trying to be optimistic,
That part of me won't give up hope,
Well it my own,
Disfuction,
That always leads to nothing,
But it seems,
It's the only way,
The only way to go,

[Chorus 1x]

[Bridge]
Cause nothing ever changes anymore,
It makes me wonder what tomorrow for,

[Chorus 1x]

Oh oh oh, Oh Oh Oh

[Verse]
Sometimes, I get that overwhelming feeling,
So sad the
Faces on TV,
If i try to make a difference would it help anyway,
Then i stop and to myself i say

[Chorus]
So you wanna change the world,
What are you waiting for,
Say your gonna start right now,
What are you waiting for,
It only takes one voice,
So come on now and shout it out,
Give a little more,
What are you waiting for,

[Verse]

Sometimes, I feel a little helpless,
Seems like (well) I can't do a thing,
But anything is possible,
Just you want and see,
Good things happen,
If you Just believe,

[Chorus 1x]

[Bridge]
Someday, somehow, I'm gonna take that step,
Cause time is ticking away,
Right here,
Right now,
Before it's to late,
Gonna face tomorrow today,
(Don't wait,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Chorus 2x]
