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
Today that l owe you my life
A Life you say Is 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 day I don't want you
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 a crime thing that's nice
If it only takes a minute

Then why not twice
I should have known from the start this would happen
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 day 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
