(John Madara and David White)
|
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
|
And 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
|
|
Oh, 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
|
Oh 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
|
