Lyrics Wild Orchid – You Don’t Own Me

There we were
On a Sunday afternoon
Just holding hands
Lover making future plans together

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:

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

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

You’re not my mother
Not my father
You’re supposed to be my lover
Not my sister

Another guy forgettin the combination to my heart
Just another page inside of a book without a mark

Love won’t be my ball and chain
Driving me insane
Cause you’re holdin me down
Holdin me down
Stop holdin me down down down

You don’t own me
Can’t control me
I’m not gonna change for nobody
No,no

You don’t own me
I’m not chained babe.
If I’m the one you love
Then set me free
Set me free

You only call me when I want you to x8

You don’t own me
You can’t control me
I’m not gonna change for nobody
no no

You don’t own me
I’m not chained babe.
If I’m the one you love
Then set me free

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 of a book without a mark

You don’t own me
You can’t control me
If you love me,
set me free.

You don’t own me
Then set me free
Set me free
