You may have given me the breaks
Amended all my life's mistakes
Ooh but pretty baby
You don't own me
You may be more than Just a friend
On whose assistance I depend
Ooh but pretty baby
You don't own me
What makes you think you have the right
To say that I owe you my life
A life you say Is your life only
Nothing to do with me
Well don't forget for all your power
Even in my darkest hour
You don't own me
You may be fully In control of
Every dream I'll ever hold
Ooh but pretty baby
You don't own me
You might have taught me how to dress
Whereas before I looked a mess
Ooh but pretty baby
You don't own me
Amended all my life's mistakes
Ooh but pretty baby
You don't own me
You may be more than Just a friend
On whose assistance I depend
Ooh but pretty baby
You don't own me
What makes you think you have the right
To say that I owe you my life
A life you say Is your life only
Nothing to do with me
Well don't forget for all your power
Even in my darkest hour
You don't own me
You may be fully In control of
Every dream I'll ever hold
Ooh but pretty baby
You don't own me
You might have taught me how to dress
Whereas before I looked a mess
Ooh but pretty baby
You don't own me
