Lyric You Don t Own Me

(John Maldara / David White)

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
To say
