I Don't Care What You Say

I grew up in a different place

Never picked to play or won a race

How's a kid like me to know

What I could have been

What I could have been then

I was always told just what to say

What clothes to wear

What games to play

How's a kid like me to know

What I could have been

What I could have been now

I walked alone on my way to school

Never had a friend

Kids can be so cruel these days

Cruel to my face

Never knew that life could ever change

If only I knew what I did today back then

Today

I could make it change

I could start again

I could live the life that I was always meant to live

I'm going to take my place

And never feel your shame

I always win the game, now it's time to break away

I don't care what you say

Bobby was a boy that they thought was lost

He liked to dress outside the box

Daddy never saw the gift he had

What he could have been

What he could have been then

Tina grew up in a different town

Forced to play with dolls and do ballet lines

Momma never saw the gift she had

What she could have been

What she could have been now

I want to be that boy that was so cool

I want to be that girl that broke the rules worth breaking

Chances taken

I never knew that life could ever change

If only I knew what I did today back then

Today

I could make it change

I could start again

I could live the life that I was always meant to live

I'm going to take my place

And never feel your shame

I always win the game, and now it's time to break away

I don't care what you say

Who do you think you are?

Just get out of my face

Just keep on driving your car

Stop your invading my space

We didn't burn in no itch

I know I'm never one to you

I ain't nobody's bitch

I could make it change

I could start again

I could live the life that I was always meant to live

I'm going to take my place

And never feel your shame

I always win the game, and now it's time to break away

I don't care what you say
