You Don't Own Me by Lesley Gore (Lyrics)

I have decided to put my whole music collection on Youtube. I do not own the rights to any of the songs.

#19 You Don't Own Me by Lesley Gore

Album: The Golden Hits Of Lesley Gore
Year: 1965
Written By: John Madara/Dave White Tricker/David White

Lyrics:
You don't own me
I'm not just one of your pretty toys
You don't own me
Don't say I can't go with other boys

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...

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

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 I want
To say and do whatever I please

And don't tell me what to do
Oh, don't 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...

[RXRguy]

Ahhh This must be the version that was used on the "45s" that played in so many Juck Boxes back about 63/64 , the one that is stuck in my head. :-)

love this song<3 i love her voice. this is a true song that emphasizes female empowerment :3 men should never bring us down. another reason to love this song is its a good way off saying to eff off without actually saying so.
