Lyrics

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 ni
Ce 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
