You Don’t Own Me (2005 Version) – Lesley Gore

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

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

Don’t tell me what to do
Don’t tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don’t put me on display

You don’t own me
I want somebody who will be true
You don’t own me
You don’t own me and I don’t own you

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 of you

I’m young, I love to be young
Oh, I’m free, I’m free, I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please

You don’t own me
