"You Don't Own Me" lyrics

You don't own me
I'm not just one of your little toys
You don't own me
Don't say I can't play with other boys

And 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 don't own me
Don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me
Don't tie me down, 'cause I'll never stay

And don't tell me what to say
You don't tell me what to do
Just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you

I'm young and I love to be young
See, I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To do and say whatever I please

I don't tell you what to do
I don't tell you what to say
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you

I don't tell you what to do
I don't tell you what to say
And when I go out with you
You don't put me on display

I'm young and I love to be young
See, I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To do and say whatever I please
