[Intro]
You don't belong to nobody, baby
Baby, you don't belong to no—

[Verse 1]
Marriage, it's a dead thing
It's a bird with a broken wing
I take things, I don't give 'em back
I wanna put you in a bag and carry that
'Cause some courage, maybe you wanted that
Wanted to walk over your coat over a pot of lead
Wanted you to be some kind of a perfect human
But we both know you ain't no perfect human

[Chorus]
You don't belong to nobody, baby
You don't belong to nobody, baby (Ah-ah, ah)
You don't belong to me (Yeah)
You don't belong to nobody, baby (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
You don't belong to nobody, baby (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
You don't belong to me, yeah (Oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
Fairytale, maybe you wanted that
Wanted to give you all the things you said you never had
Wanted you to be some kind of a perfect human
But we both know I'm not a perfect human
But when I love you, I wanna control you
Don't want you thinking 'bout, looking at no one but me
When you love me, love me, I lose myself
And when I let you in, I feel like shit, I tell myself that
[Chorus]
You don't belong to nobody, baby
You don't belong to nobody, baby (Ah-ah, ah, yeah)
You don't belong to me (Yeah, me)
You don't belong to nobody, baby (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
You don't belong to nobody, baby (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
You don't belong to me, yeah (Oh-oh)

[Bridge]
Yeah, I'm old-fashioned, but I like fashion
I need a little passion when I walk away
Need you to tell me to stay
But you never told me to stay that way

[Chorus]
You don't belong to nobody, baby
You don't belong to nobody, baby
You don't belong to me (Don't belong)
You don't belong to nobody, baby (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
You don't belong to nobody, baby (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
You don't belong to me, yeah (Oh-oh)

[Outro]
You don't belong to nobody, baby
I don't belong to nobody, baby
I just belong to me
