You Don't Own Me

[Verse 1: Renee]

There we were on a Sunday afternoon

Just holding hands, lovers making future plans together

We thought forever, forever, yeah...

[Verse 2: Stephanie]

Now here we are

The hand that used to hold me gently

Doesn't know when to let me go

It holds too tight now and we just fight now

Where is the love

[Chorus: Stacy]

You don't own me, can't control me

I'm not gonna change for nobody

You don't own me; you can't chain me down

If I'm the one you love, then set me free

Set me free

[Verse 3: Stacy]

Side by side

We should walk together

See love eye to eye

Remember all the reasons why you love me

Strength within me

Can't tie it down

[Break: All]

You're not my mother, not my father

You're supposed to be my lover

Not my sister, not my brother

Gotta be more than just another

Another guy forgettin' the combination to my heart

Just another page inside a book without a mark

Love won't be my ball and chain, driving me insane

'Cause you're holdin' me down, stop holdin' me down

[Chorus: Stacy]

You don't own me, can't control me

I'm not gonna change for nobody

You don't own me; you can't chain me down

If I'm the one you love, then set me free

Set me free

[Spoken Bridge]

[Chorus: Stacy]

You don't own me, can't control me

I'm not gonna change for nobody

You don't own me; you can't chain me down

If I'm the one you love, then set me free

Set me free

[Break: All]

You're not my mother, not my father

You're supposed to be my lover

Not my sister, not my brother

Gotta be more than just another

Another guy forgettin' the combination to my heart

Just another page inside a book without a mark

Love won't be my ball and chain, driving me insane

'Cause you're holdin' me down, stop holdin' me down

[Chorus: Stacy]

You don't own me, can't control me

I'm not gonna change for nobody

You don't own me; you can't chain me down

If I'm the one you love, then set me free

Set me free
