Lyrics

You Don't Own Me

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

A pretty face like yours

Should really learn to smile more

And no one-night stands for you

Or they'll think that you're a whore

You better cross your legs

'Cos that's not very ladylike

Don't wanna hear your thoughts

Don't even start to speak your mind

You don't own me

You don't own me

You don't own me

And I'll do whatever I want to

'Cos I'm a psycho

But that's fine though

So you better get out of my way

I'll be your biggest mistake

If you keep acting that way

I don't need you

I don't need you

'Cos I'll be whoever I want to

And what makes you think

You get your say?

So you better get out of my way

I'll be your biggest mistake

If you keep acting that way

Don't cut your hair too short

'Cos it looks better long and straight

Don't make the first move, no

'Cos dignity will always wait

Just learn to bite your tongue

Were you not taught when you were young?

Don't show too much skin

Don't even start to speak your mind

You don't own me

You don't own me

You don't own me

And I'll do whatever I want to

'Cos I'm a psycho

But that's fine though

So you better get out of my way

I'll be your biggest mistake

If you keep acting that way

I don't need you

I don't need you

'Cos I'll be whoever I want to

And what makes you think

You get your say?

So you better get out of my way

I'll be your biggest mistake

If you keep acting that way

I'd rather pull out my teeth

Than be what you want me to be

I know it's hard to believe

You don't own me

You don't own me

You don't own me

You don't own me

And I'll do whatever I want to

'Cos I'm a psycho

But that's fine though

So you better get out of my way

I'll be your biggest mistake

If you keep acting that way

I'd rather pull out my teeth

(I don't need you, I don't need you 'cause I'll be whoever I want to)

Than be what you want me to be

(And what makes you think you get your say? So you better get out of my way)

I know it's hard to believe

(I'll be your biggest mistake if you keep acting that way)

You don't own me
