You Don't Own Me Lyrics
You Don't Own Me, no.
I'm not one of your little toys.
You Don't Own Me, no.
You can't keep me from those other boys.
Don't tell me what to do and
Don't tell me what to say.
When I go out with you
Don't put me on display.
You Don't Own Me, no.
Don't try to change me in any way.
You Don't Own Me, no.
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.
Just let me be myself.
That's all I ask of you.
You Don't Own Me, no.
I'm not one of your little toys.
You Don't Own Me, no.
You can't keep me from those other boys.
Don't tell me what to do and
Don't tell me what to say.
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.
Just let me be myself.
That's all I ask of you.
I'm wrong.
I love to be free
I'm wrong. Yeah, I love to be wrong.
I'm free. Yeah, I love to be free.
Free to do whatever I want.
To live my life the way that I please.
i love this song. its like "yes i'm your girlfriend but treat me right...don't be possessive and respect my freedom" love it.
It is a cover, but I don't know who did it originally. The Blow Monkeys did another cover for it, which is on the Dirty Dancing soundtrack.

This song is great... it's so in your face about it... like "this is the way it is... accept it. Don't even think about trying to change me." Damn Right!!!
P.S. One other thing I forgot to add... the part of the song "Don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay. " I love that. It's just reminding this guy that he is only a pit stop in her life. They will both eventually move on from each other so he shouldn't try to keep her around if she wants to leave...
i don't know who it is originally by... but it is either dusty springfield or leslie gore. they both sang it, i just don't know who did it first, and i'm too lazy to find out. it is a great song though, and how could you not love rasputina's spin on it?
Joan Jett & the Blackhearts do this too.
Lesley Gore did it originally, and I love it.
