You don't own me
I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me
Don't say I cant 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 dont own me
Dont try to change me in any way
You dont own me
Dont tie me down cause I'll never stay
I dont tell you what to say
I dont tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
Thats all I ask of you
I 'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I want to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please
Dont tell me what to do
And dont tell me what to say
And please when I go out with you
Dont put me on display
I dont tell you what to say
And I dont tell you what to do
