You don’t own me, don’t hang around
   You don’t own me no more
   Oh, you don’t own me, don’t hang around honey
   You don’t own me no more
  
   You made your bed an now you’re trying to hide it
   You made a bed of nails
   Although you pinned me down I never tried to fight it
   You had me on the rails
   And now your snakeskin colours are flying
   You’re trying to hide your poison disguise
   So wipe the crocodile tears that are falling
   They only make me realise
  
   You don’t own me, don’t hang around
   You don’t own me no more
   Oh, you don’t own me, don’t hang around honey
   You don’t own me no more
  
   I can read the lines, the lines your face is showing
   They say your time has come
   And every single line your evil heart is scheming
   Ain’t gonna fool no-one
   I’m gonna turn my back on the wild side
   And take my rainfall way to the sun
   Across the plains of a new horizon
   Don’t say goodbye, I’m already gone
   And in the dreams of your fantasy love world (?)
   You tore the hole right out of your life
   And got a one-way ticket to nowhere
   And now at last I realise
  
   You don’t own me, don’t hang around
   You don’t own me no more
   Oh, you don’t own me, don’t hang around honey
   You don’t own me no more
   You don’t own me, don’t hang around
   You don’t own me no more
   Oh, you don’t own me, don’t hang around honey
   You don’t own me no more
   Oh, you don’t own me, don’t hang around
   You don’t own me no more
   Oh, you don’t own me, don’t hang around honey
   You don’t own me no more
   Oh, you don’t own me no more....
