You Don't Own Me Lyrics

You don't know me
I'm not just one of your little toys
You don't own me
Don't say I can't play with other boys!

And don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to say
Please when I go out with you
Don't put me on display

Because you don't know me
Don't try to shame me in any way
You don't own me
Don't tie me down 'cause I never stay

And don't tell me what to say
Don't tell me what to do
Just let me be myself
That's all I ask from you!

I'm young and I like to be young
I'm free and I like to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please

You don't know me,
I'm not just one of your little toys
You don't own me,
Don't say I can't play with other boys

And don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to say
Please when I go out with you
Don't put me on display

I'm young and I like to be young
I'm free and I like to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please
