You don't know 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, don't tell me what to say Please when I go out with you, don't put me on display
Because you don't know me, don't try to shame me in any way You don't own me, don't tie me down 'cause I never stay And don't tell me what to say, don't tell me what to do Just let me be myself, that's all I ask from you
I'm young and I like to be young I'm free and I like to be free To live my life the way I want To say and do whatever I please
You don't know 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, don't tell me what to say Please when I go out with you, don't put me on display
I'm young and I like to be young I'm free and I like to be free To live my life the way I want To say and do whatever I please
