I ain't no architect
ain't got the intellect
I gotta get away
my time will fade away I'm gonna spend it in the dust
yes it's true
I gotta selfdestructo bust
I ain't no fireman
I lost it in the can
I got a steel machine
I got a mongo's dream
I gotta get away
my time will fade away
I'm gonna spend it in the dust
I gotta selfdestructo bust
Ain't gonna ride that yellow bus
I gotta selfdestructo bustYou 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
Bababa bababa ba!
Don't tell me what to do
And don't tell me what to say
And when I go out with you
Don't put me on display
Pretty Good!
I'm Impressed
You don't own me
Don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me
Don't tie me down
'Cuz I'll never stay
I don't tell you what to say
And 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
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
Oh no! You don't own me
You don't own me
You don't own me
Forever young and free
Darlin' you don't own me
You don't own me
You don't own me
You don't own me
Forever young and free
Darlin' you don't own me
