You Don't Own Me Lyrics - Wild Orchid - Wild Orchid

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
