You Dont Own Me Lyrics

You Don't Own Me

Artist: Lesley Gore (peak Billboard position # 2 in
1963)
Words and Music by John Madara and David White


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 live my life the way I want
To
say and do whatever I please



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 live my life the way I
want
