Don't think that you can tell me what to think
I'm the one who knows what's good for me
I'm stating my independence, yeah
Gonna take the road I'm gonna take
Gonna make my own mistakes
Here's to 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 gonna hold me down
Gonna do it then and 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
Here's to my right

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

I'm taking all the 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 where I go
What I need
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
