You Don’t Own Me

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

And don’t tell me what to do

And don’t tell me what to say

And 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

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 and I love to be free

To live my life the way I want

To say and do whatever I please

Aaah don’t tell me what to do

And don’t tell me what to say

And please, when I go out with you,

don’t put me on display

I don’t tell you what to say

Oh-h-h-h 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 and I love to be free
