[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

[Chorus 1]
And don't tell me what to do
And don't tell me what to say
And, please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display

[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'll never stay

[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

[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
