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 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 anyway You don't own me Don't tie me down, 'cause I'll never stay
I don't tell you what to say And I don't tell you what to do So just let me be myself That's all I ask of you
I'm young, (I'm young) and I love to be young I'm free, (so free) and I love to be free To live my life the way that I want To say and do whatever I please
