Not My Slave Lyrics - Oingo Boingo

With sadness in my heart and joy in my mind 

I thought about the ghosts that we've left behind 

With everyone around telling us what to do 

With deafening sound whisper I love you 

The fire in your eyes, may it never go out 

The sweetness of your tears make it feel like night 

I see no escape from the roles we always play 

What do we have to prove on this judgment day? 

And you're mine now but you're not my sister 

And you're mine now but you're not my slave 

And you're mine but you're not my child 

And you're mine now but you're not my slave 

You're missin' the whole point, you're not my little pet 

Don't throw away your life, the game's not over yet 

I do not own your soul, don't want you in a cage 

I only want your heart to find that special place 

You're missin' the whole point, you're not my little pet 

Don't throw away your life, the game's not over 

You're mine but you're not my sister 

You're mine now but you're not my slave 

You're mine but you're not my child 

You're mine now but you're not my slave 

You're mine now but you're not my slave 

With sand in my heart and clouds in my head 

I thought about us both and the lives we've led 

From pages in a book and pictures on a screen 

We make ourselves like clay from someone else's dream 

One second you are cast just like stones at my feet 

But I am not a King please don't worship me 

With everyone around telling us what to do 

With deafening sound whisper I love you 

You're missing the whole point, you're not my little pet 

Don't throw away your life, the game's not over yet 

I do not own your soul, don't want you in a cage 

I only want your heart to find that special place 

You're mine now but you're not my sister 

You're mine now but you're not my slave 

You're mine now but you're not my child 

You're mine now but you're not my slave 

You're mine now but you're not my sister 

You're mine now but you're not my slave 

You're mine but you're not my child 

You're mine now but you're not my slave 

You're mine now but you're not my slave 

You're mine now but you're not my slave 

Ooh, but you're not my slave
