so young and so naive
i thought it would be easy
but now i know i`ve got to take

when it has to do with my life my life
i wanna be the one in control
so let me take you by the hand
and lead you on this dance
cause what i`ve got is because i took a chance

just wanna run my life
so make your life a little easier
when you get the chance just take
free at last out here on my own
