Gary Wright - Don't Try To Own Me Lyrics

Gary Wright Lyrics

"Don't Try To Own Me"

I, I need to breath
I need to feel I'm free
But you want all of me
Why, why can't you let go
Our love needs wings to fly
Not empty words or lies

There must be a way
We've got to work it out
Cos' I wanna stay

I don't need another wounded heart
Oh, no, no
Can't you see you're tearin' me apart
Don't try to own me
Don't try to own me
I don't wanna be tied down
I can feel like I'm about to break
Can't you see the smile I wear is fake
Don't try to own me
Don't try to own me

I, I don't wanna leave
Only to find a face
Someone to take your place
Why, why be so blind
I want our love to be
More than the passion we see

There must be a way
We've got to work it out
Cos' I wanna stay

I don't need another wounded heart
No, no, no
Can't you see you're tearin' me apart
Don't try to own me
Don't try to own me
I can feel like I'm about to break
Feel like I'm breaking
Can't you see the smile I wear is fake
Don't try to own me
Don't try to own me

I wanna be, I wanna be free
I can't live feelin' tied down inside

I don't need another wounded heart
No, no, no
Can't you see you're tearin' me apart
Don't try to own me
Don't try to own me
There's got to be some other way
I can feel like I'm about to break
I can't stand the feeling
Can't you see the smile I wear is fake
Don't try to own me
Don't try to own me
Cos' I can't stand being tied down
I don't need another wounded heart
I'm hurtin' inside
Can't you see you're tearin' me apart
Don't try to own me
Don't try to own me
There's got to be some other way
