You Don't Own Me -- Lesley Gore

You don't own me, I'm not just one of your many toys 
You don't own me, don't say I can't go with other boys 
And don't tell me what to do  And don't tell me what to say 
And please, when I go out with you  Don't put me on display, 'cause 

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 
Oh, 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 

I'm young and I love to be young  I'm free and I love to be free 
To live my life the way I want  To say and do whatever I please 
And don't tell me what to do  Oh don't tell me what to say 
And please, when I go out with you  Don't put me on display 

I don't tell you what to say  Oh don't tell you what to do 
So just let me be myself   That's all I ask of you 
I'm young and I love to be young  I'm free and I love to be free 
To live my life the way I want  To say and do whatever I please 

this song can be considered one of the many things that helped begin the Women’s Liberation Movement, despite the fact that the movement did not really take off until a decade later. This song is one of the very first songs in which a woman demands her independence from her man.                                                                                                                      (wikipedia)
