[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
And don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display 'cause

[Verse 2]
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-oh

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
I'm young, and I love to be young (Love to be young)
I'm free, and I love to be free (Hey, hey)
To live my life the way I want (Oh, oh)
To say and do whatever I please (Oh, oh)
