And don't tell me what to do, don't tell me what to say
And don't tell me what to do, don't tell me what to say
To say and do whatever I please
I'm free and I like to be free
Just let me be myself, that's all I ask from you
You don't know me, I'm not just one of your little toys
I'm young and I like to be young
Please when I go out with you, don't put me on display
I'm young and I like to be young
And don't tell me what to say, don't tell me what to do
You don't own me, don't say I can't play with other boys
You don't own me, don't tie me down 'cause I never stay
To live my life the way I want
I'm free and I like to be free
Because you don't know me, don't try to shame me in any way
To live my life the way I want
Please when I go out with you, don't put me on display
