The Big Chill movie - You Don't Own Me lyrics

rate me

Song by Lesley Gore<br /><br>

You don't own me, I'm not just one of your many toys<br>

You don't own me, don't say I can't go with other boys<br>

<br>

And don't tell me what to do<br>

And don't tell me what to say<br>

And please, when I go out with you<br>

Don't put me on display, 'cause<br>

<br>

You don't own me, don't try to change me in any way<br>

You don't own me, don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay<br>

<br>

Oh, I don't tell you what to say<br>

I don't tell you what to do<br>

So just let me be myself<br>

That's all I ask of you<br>

<br>

I'm young and I love to be young<br>

I'm free and I love to be free<br>

To live my life the way I want<br>

To say and do whatever I please<br>

<br>

A-a-a-nd don't tell me what to do<br>

Oh-h-h-h don't tell me what to say<br>

And please, when I go out with you<br>

Don't put me on display<br>

<br>

I don't tell you what to say<br>

Oh-h-h-h don't tell you what to do<br>

So just let me be myself<br>

That's all I ask of you<br>

<br>

I'm young and I love to be young<br>

I'm free and I love to be free<br>

To live my life the way I want<br>

<br>
