"Be Your Own Man" lyrics

You say I'm possessive, that I cramp your style
You say you're unhappy, that's putting it mild
You say you've decided to be on your own
Be your own man
Be left alone

You say you have chosen to live without me
You say I've stolen your identity
You've become restless
So, you've made it my fault
You want your freedom
I'll pay the cost

Be your own man, I set you free
Be who you are, go where you please
I hope you'll be happy, whatever you find
Be your own man, 'cause you're no longer mine

I watch you leave and I can't hide the tears
To think it meant nothing
The memories, the years

Are you searching for something?
Are you grasping at youth?
Do you think you will find it?
Is it worth what you'll lose?

Be your own man, I set you free
Be who you are, go where you please
I know I can't stop you. You've made up your mind
Be your own man, 'cause you're no longer mine

Be your own man. Just be your own man

Be your own man. Just be your own man

Be your own man, I set you free
Be your own man, don't worry about me
I hope you'll be happy, whatever you find
Be your own man (you can be your own man)
'Cause you're no longer mine

Be your own man
Be your own man you can be your own man
Be your own man

Be your own man. Just be your own man
Be your own man. Just be your own man
Be your own man. Just be your own man
