You don't own me, no
I'm not one of your little toys
You don't own me, no
You can't keep me from those other boys

Don't tell me what to do and
Don't tell me what to say
When I go out with you
Don't put me on display

You don't own me, no
Don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me, no
Don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay

I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
Just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you

You don't own me, no
I'm not one of your little toys
You don't own me, no
You can't keep me from those other boys

Don't tell me what to do and
Don't tell me what to say
When I go out with you
Don't put me on display

I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
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
Free to do whatever I want
To live my life the way that I please
