I’m not just one of your many toys<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
You don’t own me<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Don’t say I can’t go with other boys<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
And don’t tell me what to do<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Don’t tell me what to say<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
And please, when I go out with you<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Don’t put me on display ’cause<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
You don’t own me<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Don’t try to change me in any way<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
You don’t own me<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Don’t tie me down ’cause I’d never stay<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I don’t tell you what to say<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I don’t tell you what to do<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
So just let me be myself<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
That’s all I ask of you<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I’m young and I love to be young<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I’m free and I love to be free<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
To live my life the way I want<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
To say and do whatever I please<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
And don’t tell me what to do<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Oh, don’t tell me what to say<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
And please, when I go out with you<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Don’t put me on display<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I don’t tell you what to say<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Oh, don’t tell you what to do<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
So just let me be myself<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
That’s all I ask of you<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I’m young and I love to be young<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I’m free and I love to be free<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
