Lyric You Don t Own Me

You may have given me the breaks
Amended all my life s mistakes
Ooh but pretty baby
You don t own me

You may be more than Just a friend
On whose assistance I depend
Ooh but pretty baby
You don t own me

What makes you think you have the right
To say that I owe you my life
A life you say Is your life only
Nothing to do with me
Well don t forget for all your power
Even in my darkest hour
You don t own me

You may be fully In control of
Every dream I ll ever hold
Ooh but pretty baby
You don t own me

You might have taught me how to dress
Whereas before I looked a mess
Ooh but pretty baby
You don t own me

I know it sounds so very cruel
To have to say I don t want you
After all the love you ve shown me
Let s not start a feud
I m not your slave don t you forget it
And even If I live to regret it
You don t own me

Why must you always be so right
Why can t you never be wrong
It s not a crime to say you re sorry
And It don t take long
If It only takes a minute to say something that s nice
If It only takes a minute then why not twice

It might interest you to know
If I m unhappy then I ll go
No point in staying here being lonely
What good would that do
It s time you got it through your head
Although I m grateful for all your help
You don t own me
