You gotta go where you wanna go
Do what you wanna do
Think what you wanna think
Be who you wanna be
You gotta go where you wanna go
Do what you wanna do
With whoever you wanna do it with
You gotta go where you wanna go
And do what you wanna do
With whoever you wanna do it with
You don’t understand
That a girl like me can feel this way
Tell me why
You might see the sky fall down
Why don’t you run
And look at the world around you
Then you’ll know
That a girl like me can feel this way
You gotta go where you wanna go
Do what you wanna do
Think what you wanna think
Be who you wanna be
You gotta go where you wanna go
Do what you wanna do
With whoever you wanna do it with
You gotta go where you wanna go
And do what you wanna do
With whoever you wanna do it with
You don’t understand
That a girl like me can feel this way
Tell me why
You might see the sky fall down
Why don’t you run
And look at the world around you
Then you’ll know
That a girl like me can feel this way
You gotta go where you wanna go
Do what you wanna do
Think what you wanna think
Be who you wanna be
You gotta go where you wanna go
Do what you wanna do
With whoever you wanna do it with
You gotta go where you wanna go
And do what you wanna do
With whoever you wanna do it with
