You Don't Own Me Songtext

von Pale Waves

A pretty face like yours
Should really learn to smile more
And no one night stands for you
Or they'll think that you're a whore
You better cross your legs
'Cause that's not very lady like
Don't wanna hear your thoughts
Don't even start to speak your mind

You don't own me
You don't own me
You don't own me
And I'll do whatever I want to
'Cause I'm a psycho
But that's fine though
So you better get out of my way
I'll be your biggest mistake
If you keep acting that way
I don't need you
I don't need you
'Cause I'll be whoever I want to
And what makes you think
You get your say?
So you better get out of my way
I'll be your biggest mistake
If you keep acting that way

Don't cut your hair too short
'Cause it looks better long and straight
Don't make the first move, no
'Cause dignity will always wait
Just learn to bite your tongue
Were you not taught when you were young?
Don't show too much skin
Don't even start to speak your mind

You don't own me
You don't own me
You don't own me
And I'll do whatever I want to
'Cause I'm a psycho
But that's fine though
So you better get out of my way
I'll be your biggest mistake
If you keep acting that way
I don't need you
I don't need you
'Cause I'll be whoever I want to
And what makes you think
You get your say?
So you better get out of my way
I'll be your biggest mistake
If you keep acting that way

I'd rather pull out my teeth
Than be what you want me to be
I know it's hard to believe
You don't own me

You don't own me
You don't own me
You don't own me
And I'll do whatever I want to
'Cause I'm a psycho
But that's fine though
So you better get out of my way
I'll be your biggest mistake
If you keep acting that way

I'd rather pull out my teeth (I don't need you, I don't need you)
'Cause I'll be whoever I want to (than be what you want me to be)
Your say? So you better get out of my way
I know it's hard to believe
If you keep acting that way
You don't own me
