You Don't Own Me - Leslie Gore

Soundtrack of Your Life

Prompt: What was I listening to last year?

You Don't Own Me

Girl power. This is a modern version of Leslie Gore's 1963 version.

The older version:


The song stands the test of time. We are always fighting to remain ourselves, vital and strong, not some ornament of some guy. We are true partners on a life journey, not someone that can be bossed around and be made to feel small and insignificant.

A few lyrics:
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
Don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display 'cause
