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 {1: 'cause}
You don't own me, don't try to change me in any way
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
{instrumental break over verse chords, in Abm:}
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 {1: 'cause}
{repeat Chorus 2, in A
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
{repeat Chorus 3, in Bb:}
I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free {fade}
