[Verse 1: Renee]
There we were on a Sunday afternoon
Just holding hands, lovers making future plans together
We thought forever, forever, yeah...

[Verse 2: Stephanie]
Now here we are
The hand that used to hold me gently
Doesn't know when to let me go
It holds too tight now and we just fight now
Where is the love

[Chorus: Stacy]
You don't own me, can't control me
I'm not gonna change for nobody
You don't own me; you can't chain me down
If I'm the one you love, then set me free
Set me free

[Verse 3: Stacy]
Side by side
We should walk together
See love eye to eye
Remember all the reasons why you love me
Strength within me
Can't tie it down
[Break: All]
You're not my mother, not my father
You're supposed to be my lover
Not my sister, not my brother
Gotta be more than just another
Another guy forgettin' the combination to my heart
Just another page inside a book without a mark
Love won't be my ball and chain, driving me insane
'Cause you're holdin' me down, stop holdin' me down

[Chorus: Stacy]
You don't own me, can't control me
I'm not gonna change for nobody
You don't own me; you can't chain me down
If I'm the one you love, then set me free
Set me free

[Spoken Bridge]

[Chorus: Stacy]
You don't own me, can't control me
I'm not gonna change for nobody
You don't own me; you can't chain me down
If I'm the one you love, then set me free
Set me free
[Break: All]
You're not my mother, not my father
You're supposed to be my lover
Not my sister, not my brother
Gotta be more than just another
Another guy forgettin' the combination to my heart
Just another page inside a book without a mark
Love won't be my ball and chain, driving me insane
'Cause you're holdin' me down, stop holdin' me down

[Chorus: Stacy]
You don't own me, can't control me
I'm not gonna change for nobody
You don't own me; you can't chain me down
If I'm the one you love, then set me free
Set me free
