Lyrics

I'm wiser now I'm not the foolish girl you used to know So long ago I'm stronger now I've learned from my mistakes which way to go And I should know I put myself aside to do it in your way But now I need to do it all alone And I am not afraid to try it on my own I don't care if I'm right or wrong I'll live my life the way I feel No matter what, I'll keep it real, you know Time for me to do it on my own Yeah-yeah-yeah, mmm, yeah-yeah It's over now I can't go back to living through your eyes Too many lies And if you don't know by now I can't go back I can't go back to being someone else Not anymore I never had the chance to do things my way So now it's time for me to take control And I am not afraid to try it on my own I don't care if I'm right or wrong I'll live my life the way I feel No matter what, I'm gonna keep it real, you know Time for me to do it (oh) I start again go back to one I'm running things in my way (my way) Can't stop me now, I've just begun Don't even think about There ain't no way about it I'm taking names, the world is mine Yes, I'm gonna take my turn It's time for me to finally stand alone, stand alone I am not afraid to try it on my own I don't care if I'm right or wrong I'll live my life the way I feel No matter what, I'm gonna keep it real, you know It's time for me to do it, see I am not afraid (I am not afraid to try) try it on my own And I don't care if I'm right or wrong I'll live my life the way I feel No matter what, I'm gonna keep it real, you know It's time for me to do it on my own Yeah, on On my own
