Lesley Gore - You Don't Own Me free for downloading

I'm here because Lesley Gore.

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 You don't own me Don't try to change me in any way You don't own me Don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay I don't tell you what to say I don't tell you what to do So just let me be myself That's all I ask of you I'm young and I love to be young I'm free and I love to be free To live my life the way I want To say and do whatever I please And don't tell me what to do Oh, don't tell me what to say And please, when I go out with you Don't put me on display I don't tell you what to say Oh, don't tell you what to do So just let me be myself That's all I ask of you

Whenever I listen to this, I feel like I’m divorcing my husband and take all the properties and children when I walk my petty self out of the court house in a fur coat and sunglasses in the 50’s. The funny thing is I’m not even married, I’m only 17

i am 64 years old i was 14 when this song came out i loved it then an now

"Joker and I broke up..." "I wanted a fresh start.."

I wonder what happened to this kind of music? It was very lovely and fun to listen to.

We were newly married when my wife and I first heard Ms. Gore's "You Don't Own Me". I immediately loved the tune and arrangement. "You liked that?" my wife asked, "Oh, yeah!" I replied. And with that special, pointed look in her eye, she said, "Good". Then I realized she was referring to the lyrics. I took it to heart and fifty years later it turns out to have been very good advice from both ladies. Sadly, they're both gone now but the music, the memories and my gratitude endure.

I'm so glad they went with the original in Suicide Squad instead of Grace's cover version with G-Easy

Played this at my divorce party! 21 years with an abuser. I finally found the strength to leave.

this sounds like it should be playing in the background of a murder scene

I don't care where did you come from, as long as you enjoy this masterpiece.

Anyone here because 'Grace' is not original ?

I feel like one of a few people who's here because they like the song and not because of Suicide Squad.

This song was perfect for its time with all of the sexism going on in those times love it love it
