Gilbert O`sullivan You Don`t Own Me Lyrics

You Don`t Own Me Lyrics

You may have given me the breaks

 Amended all my life's mistakes

 Ooh but pretty baby

 You don't own me

 

 You may be more than Just a friend

 On whose assistance I depend

 Ooh but pretty baby

 You don't own me

 

 What makes you think you have the right

 To say that I owe you my life

 A life you say Is your life only

 Nothing to do with me

 Well don't forget for all your power

 Even in my darkest hour

 You don't own me

 

 You may be fully In control of

 Every dream I'll ever hold

 Ooh but pretty baby

 You don't own me

 

 You might have taught me how to dress

 Whereas before I looked a mess

 Ooh but pretty baby

 You don't own me

 

 I know it sounds so very cruel

 To have to say I don't want you

 After all the love you've shown me

 Let's not start a feud

 I'm not your slave don't you forget it

 And even If I live to regret it

 You don't own me

 

 Why must you always be so right

 Why can't you never be wrong

 It's not a crime to say you're sorry

 And It don't take long

 If It only takes a minute to say something that's nice

 If It only takes a minute then why not twice

 

 It might interest you to know

 If I'm unhappy then I'll go

 No point in staying here being lonely

 What good would that do

 It's time you got it through your head

 Although I'm grateful for all your help

 You don't own me
