Lyrics
[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]
Don't tell me what to do
And don't tell me what to say
Please when I go out with you
Don't put me on display 'cause
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Oh, I don't tell you what to say
And I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
[Verse 5]
I'm young and I love to be young
And free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please
[Verse 6]
Don't tell me what to do
And you don't tell me what to say
And please when I go out with you
Don't put me on display 'cause
[Verse 7]
I don't, I don't tell you what to say, baby
But I don't tell you what to do but to start to sing, yeah
You got to sing, yeah
You got something to sing, yeah, you got something to sing, yeah, ooh
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
You got to, you got to, you got, you got, you got
Waah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Ow, come on baby, it's okay
Both the windows are open and you're falling
Baby
