"Nobody Owns You" lyrics

"Nobody Owns You"

Nobody owns you
Not the ones you love
Not a teacher or a leader
Or a god above

Nobody owns you
Not the one who pays
Or the mother who has given
You her yesterdays

You're as free as an October breeze
And it's time to get up off your knees
Listen to me please
Nobody owns you

Nobody owns you
'Cause they bought your drink
Or because they care so much
About the thoughts you think

Nobody owns you
Not the ones you fight
Or the one who holds you close
And takes you home tonight

You're as free as the wind in the street
And it's time to stand up on your feet
Darling you're complete
Nobody owns you

Nobody owns you
Though they might insist
That you signed a little bargain
When you held their wrist

Nobody owns you
'Cause they told you so
Not the one who held you down
So many years ago

You're as free as the light in the trees
So it's time to get up off of your knees
Understand me please
Nobody owns you
