You don`t own me,
I`m not just one of your pretty toys.
You don`t own me,
Don`t say I can`t go 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`d 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.
(INSTRUMENTAL)
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.
I don`t tell you what to say,
I don`t tell you what to do...
