You may have given me the breaks
|
Amended all my life's mistakes
|
Ooh but pretty baby
|
You don't own me
|
|
You may be more than Just a friend
|
On whose assistance I depend
|
Ooh but pretty baby
|
You don't own me
|
|
What makes you think you have the right
|
To say that I 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 pretty baby
|
You don't own me
|
|
You might have taught me how to dress
|
Whereas before I looked a mess
|
Ooh but pretty baby
|
You don't own me
|
|
I know it sounds so very cruel
|
To have to say 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
|
If It only takes a minute to say something that's nice
|
If It only takes a minute then why not twice
|
|
It might interest you to know
|
If I'm unhappy then I'll go
|
No point in staying here being lonely
|
What good would that do
|
It's time you got it through your head
|
Although I'm grateful for all your help
|
You don't own me
|

You Don't Own Me
