You Don't Own Me Lyrics

Klaus Nomi You Don't Own Me

You don't know me
I'm not just one of your little toys
You don't own me
Don't say I can't play with other... boys!

And don't tell me what to do,
Don't tell me what to say
Please with I go out with you
Don't put me on display,
because...

You don't know me
Don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me
Don't tie me down... 'cause I'll never stay!

And don't tell me what to say,
Don't tell me what to do
Just let me be myself,
That's all I ask of you

I'm young, and I like to be young
I'm free, and I like to be free

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

You don't know me
I'm not just one of your little toys
You don't own me
Don't say I can't play with other... boys!

And don't tell me what to do,
Don't tell me what to say
Please with I go out with you
Don't put me on display,

I'm young, and I like to be young
I'm free, and I like to be free

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