You Don't Own Me Songtext

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'd 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 I want
To say and do whatever I please

So 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 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 I want
To say and do whatever I please
