There we were On a Sunday afternoon Just holding hands Lovers making future plans together We thought forever, forever, yeah... Now here we are The hand that used to hold me gently Doesn't know when to let me go It holds too tight now And we just fight now Where is the love You don't own me Can't control me I'm not gonna change for nobody You don't own me You can't chain me down If I'm the one you love Then set me free Set me free Side by side We should walk together See love eye to eye Remember all the reasons why you love me Strength within me Can't tie it down You're not my mother Not my father You're supposed to be my lover Not my sister Not my brother Gotta be more than just another Another guy forgettin' the combination to my heart Just another page inside a book without a mark Love won't be my ball and chain Driving me insane 'Cause you're holdin' me down Stop holdin' me down You don't own me Can't control me I'm not gonna change for nobody You don't own me You can't chain me down If I'm the one you love Then set me free Set me free You're not my mother Not my father You're supposed to be my lover Not my sister Not my brother Gotta be more than just another Another guy forgettin' the combination to my heart Just another page inside a book without a mark Love won't be my ball and chain Driving me insane 'Cause you're holdin' me down Stop holdin' me down
