Leslie Gore-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  
 
  
 and don`t tell me what to do  
 
  
 and don`t tell me what to say  
 
  
 and 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  
 
  
 oh, 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 and i love to be young  
 
  
 i`m free and i love to be free  
 
  
 to life my life the way i want  
 
  
 to say and do whatever i please  
 
  
 instrumental interlude  
 
  
 a-a-a-nd don`t tell me what to do  
 
  
 oh-h-h-h don`t tell me what to say  
 
  
 and please, when i go out with you  
 
  
 don`t put me on display  
 
  
 i don`t tell you what to say  
 
  
 oh-h-h-h 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  
 
  
 fade  
 
  
 i`m free and i love to be free  
 
  
 to life my life the way i want
