Bette Midler – You Don't Own Me lyrics
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
Bababababababaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

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

You don't own me
Don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me
Don't drag me down,
Cuz ill never stay

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 from 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 that I want
To say and do whatever I please
(Reapeat)

No no
You don't own me
No no
You don't own me
No no
You don't own me

Young N free
Young N free
Young N free

You don't own me
(Repeat *4)

Young N free
Young N free
Young N free
You don't own me
(Repeat *5)
