Lyrics for You Don't Own Me

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 stay and do whatever I please And don't tell me what to do, oh Don't 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 oh 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
