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 1

  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]

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

Chorus 2

Oh, 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

[key change to Ab]

Chorus 3

  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
