You don't own me
I'm not just one of your pretty 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
Oh, 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...
