Don’t Need Permission Lyrics

by Meg Mac

[Verse 1]
Sit yourself down
Stop talking and listen to me
I know what you like and you'll like what you say
I'm tired of games
You play by my rules or leave
I know what I want and I get what I need

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e122647-meg_mac~dont_need_permission_lyrics.html ]
[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Although you may try
Not sure you can handle this
Just watch and learn
Cause baby I'll never quit

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge x2]
Ooh, I get what I want, I get what I need
Ooh, I'm not saying sorry, I'm not saying please

Please, please, please

[Chorus 2]
Gotta be selfish
Take it or leave it
Now you gotta listen
I don't need permission to be myself

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Ooh, I get what I want, I get what I need
Ooh, I'm not saying sorry, I'm not saying please

Please, please
