Lesley Gore - You Dont 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 ...

Don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to say
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 ...

I-I - don't tell you what to say
I-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

A-and don't tell me what to do
Ah-ah-ah don't tell me what to say
Please when I go out with you
Don't you dare put me on display

Hey, I don't tell you what to say
I-I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That is all that I ask of you

I am young and I love to be young
I-I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please (fade)
