There we were   On a Sunday afternoon   Just holding hands   Lovers making future plans together   We thought forever, forever, yeah      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      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   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      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      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
