You Don't Own Me / If I Know You

You may have given me the breaks Amended all my life's mistake Ooh, but wait a minute, you don't own me You may be more than just a friend On whose assistance I depend Ooh, but wait a minute, you don't own me What makes you think you have the right To say that l owe you my life? A life you say's 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 wait a minute, you don't own me In times of trouble and despair Although I'm glad that you were there Ooh, but wait a minute, you don't own me I know it sounds so very cruel To have to say I don't want you Oh, after all the love you've shown me Let's not start a feud I'm not your slave, don't you forget it And even if I live to regret it, you don't own me Why must you always be so right? Why can't you never be wrong? It's not a crime to say you're sorry And it don't take long No, it don't take long If it only takes a minute To say something that's nice If it only takes a minute Then why not twice? I shoul've known from the start this would happen And from the moment we went anywhere If other people so much as looked at me You'd be screaming blue murder, I swear And yet, you say that my leaving doesn't hurt you in the least But even if that's true You'll do all in your power to destroy me If I know you You say how much you respect what I'm doing You say how high you regard my ideas And yet, for years as you stood in the background You never once let me up off my knees Now despite you declaring You understand the way feel Now that we are through You'll do all in your power to destroy me If I know you How dare you make me sound like some sort of dictator After all I've done for you, I end up out of favour Oh, I deserve far more to be treated how you see fit (you lovely shit) And despite you declaring you understand the way I feel Now that we are through You'll do all in your power to destroy me All in your power to destroy me All in your power to destroy me If I know you
