You Don't Own Me Lyrics

by Dusty Springfield

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 this place

You don't own me
Don't try to change me in any way
You dont own me
Don't hang 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 say 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 this place

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 say...
