You don't know me, I'm not just one of your little toys   You don't own me, don't say I can't play with other boys   And don't tell me what to do, don't tell me what to say   Please when I go out with you, don't put me on display      Because you don't know me, don't try to shame me in any way   You don't own me, don't tie me down 'cause I never stay   And don't tell me what to say, don't tell me what to do   Just let me be myself, that's all I ask from you      I'm young and I like to be young   I'm free and I like to be free   To live my life the way I want   To say and do whatever I please      You don't know me, I'm not just one of your little toys   You don't own me, don't say I can't play with other boys   And don't tell me what to do, don't tell me what to say   Please when I go out with you, don't put me on display      I'm young and I like to be young   I'm free and I like to be free   To live my life the way I want,   To say and do whatever I please
