You Dont Own Me. (Remix)
[Verse 1] Man
You don't own me
I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me
I never said I’ll be one of your boys
Wait a minute
Just wait a minute
Did I hear what you said
I never said that I owned you
You wanted to be in my bed
[Chorus] Man
And don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display
I never told you what to say
I never really cared what you thought
What I thought I could get from you
I should have paid in cash and bought
[Verse 2] Man
You don't own me
Don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me
Don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay
Bye Boy
Just bye
I don’t even really want to try
We had our thing
Now we need to let this die
[Chorus] Man
I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
You don't own me
I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me
I never said I’ll be one of your boys
Wait a minute
Just wait a minute
Did I hear what you said
I never said that I owned you
You wanted to be in my bed
[Chorus] Man
And don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display
I never told you what to say
I never really cared what you thought
What I thought I could get from you
I should have paid in cash and bought
[Verse 2] Man
You don't own me
Don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me
Don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay
Bye Boy
Just bye
I don’t even really want to try
We had our thing
Now we need to let this die
[Chorus] Man
I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
Author's Note
I was laughing thinking about how a man would come at me with this song and me responding. Just a laugh

It's just a joke. It was so girl power back in those days. I wanted to see how it would sound if the tables were flipped.

Nice twist on an old song, Fia. I remember hearing the song many years agao. I have my own song called Ham and Eggs.

I've always loved this song, and for some reason, I cracked myself up thinking how it would sound coming from a different point of view.

Sometimes they just have the hook thinking it works...but in today's times are different.
Well done.
