You Don't Own Me

You don't own me, don't hang around

You don't own me no more

Oh, you don't own me, don't hang around honey

You don't own me no more



You made your bed an now you're trying to hide it

You made a bed of nails

Although you pinned me down I never tried to fight it

You had me on the rails

And now your snakeskin colours are flying

You're trying to hide your poison disguise

So wipe the crocodile tears that are falling

They only make me realise



You don't own me, don't hang around

You don't own me no more

Oh, you don't own me, don't hang around honey

You don't own me no more



I can read the lines, the lines your face is showing

They say your time has come

And every single line your evil heart is scheming

Ain't gonna fool no-one

I'm gonna turn my back on the wild side

And take my rainfall way to the sun

Across the plains of a new horizon

Don't say goodbye, I'm already gone

And in the dreams of your fantasy love world (?)

You tore the hole right out of your life

And got a one-way ticket to nowhere

And now at last I realise



You don't own me, don't hang around

You don't own me no more

Oh, you don't own me, don't hang around honey

You don't own me no more

You don't own me, don't hang around

You don't own me no more

Oh, you don't own me, don't hang around honey

You don't own me no more

Oh, you don't own me, don't hang around

You don't own me no more

Oh, you don't own me, don't hang around honey

You don't own me no more

Oh, you don't own me no more
