You don’t own me,
I’m not just one of your many toys.
You don’t own me,
Don’t say I can’t go with other boys.
Don’t tell me what to do,
And don’t tell me what to say,
Please, when I go out with you
Don’t put me on display, ‘cause…
You don’t own me,
Don’t try to change me in any way.
You don’t own me,
Don’t tie me down ‘cause I’d never stay.
Oh I don’t tell you what to say,
And I don’t tell you what to do,
So just let me be myself,
That’s all I ask of you.
I’m young and I love to be young,
I’m free yeh and I want to be free,
To live my life the way I want,
To say and do whatever I please.
