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 out with other boys.
And don't tell me what to do
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'll never stay.
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
And I'm free, and I love to be free
To live my life the way that I want
To say and do whatever I please
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...
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'm free
To live my life the way that I want, and
To say and do whatever I please
