You Don’t Own Me (2005 Version)
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 1]
Don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display
[Verse 3]
You don't own me
I want somebody who will be true
You don't own me
You don't own me and I don't own you
[Chorus 2]
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
[Post-Chorus]
I'm young, I love to be young
Oh, I'm free, I'm free, I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please
[Outro]
You don't own me
