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...

And 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

'Cause 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...

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

I'm young

and I love to be young

I'm free and I love to be free

to live my life the way I want

to say and do

whatever I please

And...

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

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

I'm young

and I love to be young

I'm free and I love to be free

to live my life the way I want

to say and do

whatever I please
