I tried to be a good kid
But I never caught on
Mama said I'm hopeless
Papa tried discipline

            I don't care what anyone thinks of me
            I won't do what they tell me to do
I just wanna be
                        I just wanna be
                                      Free from you!

Got myself a boyfriend
But he came with a leash
Said he can't trust me
Now I'm a loner

            I don't care what anyone thinks of me
            I won't do what they tell me to do
 I just wanna be
                       I just wanna be
                                       Free from you!

Now I'm on my own yeah!
Happy as can be
Got what I wanted:
Now I'm free!

            I don't care what anyone thinks of me
            I won't do what they tell me to do
   I just wanna be
                        I just wanna be
                                       Free from you !
