You Don't Own Me / If I Know You - Gilbert O'Sullivan

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
