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 ...



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



'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'd never stay ...



I-I - don't tell you what to say

I-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



A-and don't tell me what to do

Ah-ah-ah don't tell me what to say

Please when I go out with you

Don't you dare put me on display



Hey, I don't tell you what to say

I-I don't tell you what to do

So just let me be myself

That is all that I ask of you



I am young and I love to be young

I-I'm free and I love to be free

To live my life the way I want

To say and do whatever I please (fade)
