  • Saturday, steppin' into the club
    Somebody wanna tell DJ to turn it up
    I feel the energy all around
    And my body can't stop moving to the sound

    But I can tell that you're watching me
    And you're probably gonna write what you didn't see
    Well I just need a little space to breathe
    Can you please respect my privacy

    Why can't you just let me
    Do the things I wanna do
    I just wanna be me
    I don't understand why
    Would you wanna bring me down
    If I'm only having fun
    I'm going live my life
    (Not the way you want me to)

    I'm tired of rumors starting
    I'm sick of being followed
    I'm tired of people lying
    Sayin' what they want about me
    Why can't they back up off me
    Why can't they let me live
    I'm gonna do it my way
    Take this for just what it is

    Here we are back up in the club
    People taking pictures
    Don't you think they get enough
    I just wanna be all over the floor
    And throw my hands up in the air to the beat like (What?)

    I've gotta say respectfully
    I would like it if you take the cameras off of me
    Cause I just want a little room to breathe
    Can you please respect my privacy

    Why can't you just let me
    Do the things I wanna do
    I just wanna be me
    I don't understand why
    Would you wanna bring me down
    If I'm only having fun
    I wanna live my life
    (Not the way you want me to)

    I'm tired of rumors starting
    I'm sick of being followed
    I'm tired of people lying
    Sayin' what they want about me
    Why can't they back up off me
    Why can't they let me live
    I'm gonna do it my way
    Take this for just what it is

    I just need to free my mind (my mind)
    Just wanna dance and have a good time (good time)

    I'm tired of rumors (rumors)
    Followed (followed, followed, followed, followed, followed)

    What they (follow) me
    Why can't they (they they they-they-they) let me live

    Take this for just what it is

    I'm tired of rumors starting
    I'm sick of being followed
    I'm tired of people lying
    Sayin' what they want about me
    Why can't they back up off me
    Why can't they let me live
    I'm gonna do it my way
    Take this for just what it is

    I'm tired of rumors starting
    I'm sick of being followed
    I'm tired of people lying
    Sayin' what they want about me
    Why can't they back up off me
    Why can't they let me live
    I'm gonna do it my way
    Take this for just what it is Writer/s: Cory Rooney, Lindsay Lohan, Peter Jackson, Tarryle Jackson

  • Gillian from Mandeville, LaFamous people are people too! They have feelings and lives. Their personal business isn't any of our business. All we should be concerned about is their talent.
  • Michael from Agawam, MaIs there anything worse or annoying than a famous person COMPLAINING about being famous? If you dont like it lindsey - retire!
