You Don't Own Me Lyrics - Dusty Springfield

(John Maldara / 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'll never stay 

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 that I want 

To say and do whatever I please 

And, don't tell me what to do, yeah 

Don't, don't you 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 

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 that I want 

To say and do whatever I please
