You Don't Own Me

(J. Madara / D. White), Bad Reputation (1981)
g         c       d
You don't own me
             c                g
I'm not just one of your many toys
g         c       d
You don't own me
            c                   g
Don't say I can't go with other boys


    G
And don't tell me what to do
e
Don't tell me what to say
    C
And please, when I go out with you
D
Don't put me on display


g         c       d
You don't own me
             c                g
Don't try to change me in any way
g         c       d
You don't own me
             c                     g
Don't tie me down cause I'll never stay


  G
I don't tell you what to say
  e
I don't tell you what to do
   C
So just let me be myself
D
That's all I ask of you


    G
I'm young and I love to be young
    e
I'm free and I love to be free
   C
To live my life the way I want
   D
To say and do whatever I please


    G
And don't tell me what to do
e
Don't tell me what to say
    C
And [C] please, when I go out with you
D
Don't put me on display


  G
I don't tell you what to say
e
I don't tell you what to do
   C
So just let me be myself
D
That's all I ask of you
