Words and Music
by John Madara and 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'd never stay

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

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



A-a-a-nd don't tell me what to
do
Oh-h-h-h 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
Oh-h-h-h 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
FADE
I'm free and I love to be
free
To live my life the way I
want
