Don't Try To Own Me - Gary Wright

I, I need to breath

I need to feel I’m free

But you want all of me

Why, why can’t you let go

Our love needs wings to fly

Not empty words or lies

There must be a way

We’ve got to work it out

Cos' I wanna stay

I don’t need another wounded heart

Can’t you see you’re tearin' me apart

Don’t try to own me

Don’t try to own me

I don’t wanna be tied down

I can feel like I’m about to break

Can’t you see the smile I wear is fake

Don’t try to own me

Don’t try to own me

I, I don’t wanna leave

Only to find a face

Someone to take your place

Why, why be so blind

I want our love to be

More than the passion we see

There must be a way

We’ve got to work it out

Cos' I wanna stay

I don’t need another wounded heart

No, no, no

Can’t you see you’re tearin' me apart

Don’t try to own me

Don’t try to own me

I can feel like I’m about to break

Feel like I’m breaking

Can’t you see the smile I wear is fake

Don’t try to own me

Don’t try to own me

I wanna be I wanna be free

I can’t live feelin' tied down inside

I don’t need another wounded heart

No, no, no

Can’t you see you’re tearin' me apart

Don’t try to own me

Don’t try to own me

There’s got to be some other way

I can feel like I’m about to break

I can’t stand the feeling

Can’t you see the smile I wear is fake

Don’t try to own me

Don’t try to own me

Cos' I can’t stand being tied down

I don’t need another wounded heart

I’m hurtin' inside

Can’t you see you’re tearin' me apart

Don’t try to own me

Don’t try to own me

There’s got to be some other way
