You may have given me the breaks
|
Amended all my life's mistake
|
Ooh but Wait a minute
|
You don't own me
|
You may be more than just a friend
|
On whose assistance I depend
|
Ooh but wait a minute
|
You don't own me
|
|
What makes you think you have the right
|
Today that l owe you my life
|
A Life you say Is your life only
|
Nothing to do with me
|
Well don't forget for all your power
|
Even in my darkest hour
|
You don't own me
|
|
You may be fully in control
|
Of every dream I'll ever hold
|
Ooh but wait a minute
|
You don't own me
|
In times of trouble and despair
|
Although I'm glad that you were there
|
Ooh but wait a minute
|
You don't own me
|
|
I know it sounds so very cruel
|
To have to day I don't want you
|
After all the love you've shown me
|
Let's, not start a feud
|
I'm not your slave don't you forget it,
|
And even if I live to regret it
|
You don't own me
|
|
Why must you always be so right
|
Why can't you never be wrong
|
It's not a crime to say you're sorry
|
And it don't take long
|
No it don't take long
|
|
If it only takes a minute
|
To say a crime thing that's nice
|
If it only takes a minute
|
|
Then why not twice
|
I should have known from the start this would happen
|
From the moment we went anywhere
|
If other people so much as looked at me
|
You'd be screaming blue murder I swear
|
And yet you say that my leaving doesn't hurt you in the least
|
But even if that's true
|
You'll do all in your power to destroy me
|
If I know you
|
|
You day how much, you respect what I'm doing
|
You say how high you regard my ideas
|
And yet for years as you stood in the background
|
You never once let me up off my knees
|
|
Now despite you declaring
|
You understand the way feel
|
Now that we are through
|
