[Verse 1]
Too long, my back's been breaking
Too long, I've been crusading for you
Been so accommodatin'
To your manipulatin'

[Pre-Chorus]
But I had a revelation
That's not how love should
Now that I know that my freedom was never yours to give to me

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't
I don't belong to you (you)
No, I don't
I don't belong to you (you)

I'm letting the lion loose, nothing to prove to you
I'm sayin' no more needing your permission
I don't belong to you

[Verse 2]
I'm no puppet on a string
I'm no slave your bed
I've got my own life, and it's high time I live it

[PreChorus]
'Cause it's liberating
That's how love should be
The decisions I'm making, they're not yours to make for me

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't
I don't belong to you (you)
No, I don't
I don't belong to you (you)

I'm letting the lion loose, nothing to prove to you
I'm sayin' no more needing your permission
I don't belong to you

[Bridge]
I don't belong to you
Had a revelation
That's not how love should be
Now I'm mournin' my freedom
Don't gotta give it to me

'Cause it's liberating
That's how love should be
The decisions I'm making, they're not yours to make for me

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't
I don't belong to you (you)
No, I don't
I don't belong to you (you)

I'm letting the lion loose, nothing to prove to you
I'm sayin' no more needing your permission
I don't belong to you

No, I don't belong to you
