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

don't tell me what to do

don't tell me what to say

an' please

when i go out with you

don't put me on display

you don't own me

don't try to change me in anyway

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

i'm free and i love to be free

to live my life the way i want

to say and do whatever i please
