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
To say that l owe you my life?
A life you say's 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 say I don't want you
Oh, 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 something that's nice
If it only takes a minute
Then why not twice?
I shoul've known from the start this would happen
And 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 say 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
You'll do all in your power to destroy me
If I know you
How dare you make me sound like some sort of dictator
After all I've done for you, I end up out of favour
Oh, I deserve far more to be treated how you see fit (you lovely shit)
And despite you declaring you understand the way I feel
Now that we are through
You'll do all in your power to destroy me
All in your power to destroy me
All in your power to destroy me
If I know you
