You don't own me, I gave birth to you

You don't own me, I’m paying for you all the way

And I tell YOU what to do

And I’ll tell you what to say

And please, when I go out with you

Don't try to run away.

You don't boss me,  I’m changing your diaper anyway

You don't scare me, but I’ll tie you down so you stay

So don’t drink my coffee now

Please put my toothbrush down

Stop screaming and hitting me

That's all I ask of you

You’re young but you think you’re grown

To be free doesn’t mean run away from me

You’re free to live your life as you want

When I’m not held criminally liable.

So yeah, I’ll tell you what to do

You bet , I’ll tell you where to stay

Just do your best not to humiliate me

please, when I go out with you

Don't  make me a  display

I have to hold your hand

I’m supposed to keep you safe

So just let me keep you alive

That's all I ask of you

You’re young and  love to be young

I'm tired and I want to nap

Let’s live life the way I want.
