I will not give up my own self Just to be with you I will not be glad just to do What I'm told to do I'm not meant to be your property No, I belong I me
If I want to reach for the stars You can't hold me back I want to take chances Far off from the beaten track Don't force me to be what I can't be I belong to me
If you try to tame me I will not obey I'd rather leave you all alone If you try to change me I must break away To be what I am on my own
I'm freezing, I'm burning I live without compromise I'm growing, I'm learning I'm ready to pay the price So don't fence me here I must be free Cause I belong to me
I hate to be burdened With duties that I despise You know I can't stand To be watched by a thousand eyes When I see crowd it makes me flee For I belong to me
If you want to keep me Don't hold me so tight I can't give my life for your love If you want to break me I'll not even fight I'll just fly away like a dove
I'm here when you need me I'll live and I'll die with you To share all your troubles I'll laugh and I'll cry with you You can blame me and bless me But you cannot possess me 'Cause I belong to me To me
