You don't own me lyrics

You don't own me

I'm not just one of your many toys

You don't own me

Don't say I can't go with other boys

And don't tell me what to do

And don't tell me what to say

And, 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

I don't tell you what to say

I don't tell you what to do

So, just let me be myself

That's all I ask of you

I'm young and I love to be young

I'm free and I love to be free

To live my life the way that I want

To say and do whatever I please

And, don't tell me what to do, yeah

Don't, don't you tell me what to say

And, please, when I go out with you

Don't put me on display

I don't tell you what to say

I don't tell you what to do

So, just let me be myself

That's all I ask of you

I'm young and I love to be young

I'm free and I love to be free

To live my life the way that I want
