You Don't Own Me
C&S Lyrics

If you don't know me by now
If, after all we've been through, you still can't understand and accept who I am...

You will never never never know me
...then you never will - no matter how hard you try, you'll never be able to truly comprehend me.

All the things
Given all of our shared experiences and history...

That we've been through
...the events and trials we've endured together...

You should understand me
...you ought to be able to understand me...

Like I understand you
...just as thoroughly as I understand and accept you.

Now girl I know the difference
I am aware of and can distinguish between...

Between right and wrong
...what is morally correct and incorrect.

I ain't gonna do nothing
I will not take any action...

To break up our happy home
...that would jeopardize the stability and joy of our home life.

Don't get so excited
Please do not get too worked up or anxious...

When I come home
...when I return home...

A little late at night
...even if it's a little late in the evening.

'Cause we only act like children
After all, we're only acting like children...

When we argue fuss and fight
...in those moments when we're bickering and fighting unnecessarily.

We've all got our
Each of us has...

Own funny moods
...our own peculiar emotional states and moods.

I've got mine,
I, for example, have mine...

Woman you've got yours too
...and female partner, you certainly have yours.

Just trust in me like I trust in you
We need to trust each other just as much as we already do.

As long as we've been together
Given how much time we've spent being intimate and close...

It should be so easy to do
...it should be a relatively simple task.

Just get yourself together
All that needs to happen is for you to gather yourself and your thoughts...

Or we might as well say goodbye
...or else there's no point in us continuing to try and work it out.

What good is a love affair
What is the use of a romantic relationship...

When you can't see eye to eye
...if we fundamentally and completely disagree about everything?

If you don't know me by now
In case you still don't understand me well enough...

You will never
...just know that you never will...

Never never know me
...no matter how much effort you expend to try and do so.
