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
