Sit yourself down
Stop talking and listen to me
I know what you like and you'll like what you see
I'm tired of games
You play by my rules or leave
I know what I want and I get what I need
You want this, you earn it
I know that I'm worth it
See it in my eyes
I'm tired of waiting
It's my time you're wasting
I won't apologize
Gotta be selfish
Take it or leave it
It's my decision
I don't need permission to be myself
Gotta be selfish
You better believe it
This ain't an audition
I don't need permission to be myself
Although you may try
Not sure you can handle this
Just watch and learn
Cause baby I'll never quit
You want this, you earn it
I know that I'm worth it
See it in my eyes
I'm tired of waiting
It's my time you're wasting
I won't apologize
Gotta be selfish
Take it or leave it
It's my decision
I don't need permission to be myself
Gotta be selfish
You better believe it
This ain't an audition
I don't need permission to be myself
Ooh, get what I want, get what I need
Ooh, I'm not saying sorry, I'm not saying please, please
I get what I want, I get what I need
Ooh, I'm not saying sorry, I'm not saying please, please, please, please
Gotta be selfish
Take it or leave it
Now you gotta listen
I don't need permission to be myself
Gotta be selfish
Take it or leave it
It's my decision
I don't need permission to be myself
Gotta be selfish
Better believe it
This ain't an audition
I don't need permission to be myself
Ooh, get what I want, get what I need
Ooh, I'm not saying sorry, I'm not saying please, please, please
Ooh, mmm
