Lyrics:
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
A-a-a-nd don't tell me what to do
Oh-h-h-h 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-h-h-h 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... - เพลง
Omg...I’ve been humming this song lately. I’m 72 yrs. old.....not young anymore, when this song was so popular. I haven’t heard it in ages. I live alone now...almost..two cats and one 28 yr old grandson moving out soon. I’ve lost many loved ones over the years. I’m not who I used to be when it was 1963/1964. I’ve raised my girls on my own, worked hard most of my adult life, helped to raise all 5 of my grandchildren and never remarried. I think I’m just a loner and I enjoy my solitude...even tho I didn’t get to experience much solitude in my younger life. I lost one of my daughters to heart disease 9 years ago. She was only 37 yrs old. My older daughter (49) is married. Doesn’t live too far from me. All the grandkids are grown ups now. I love animals so I adopted two older cats. 🤷🏼♀️. With age, comes crows feet, wrinkles and frown lines....but, I think, I’m soooo much wiser now. I never really had the energy or time for another relationship after I divorced. I felt free again. Even tho I had my two little girls with me. I think I’ve only met one guy in my life who made me feel like I could settle down with him and be happy. We were both very young, in love, but it was the wrong time for us .....so we eventually both just moved on. Then I got married to an immature, irresponsible guy... gosh I was so stupid. But...we learn from our mistakes. I know I did. I’m still on my own, in fairly good health, and I think this song really sums up the way I’ve always felt my whole life.... and the way I still feel. Even after all these years. 👍
@Julianna Gomez You probably act the way any 11 yr old acts. I was that age once. There’s no such thing as ‘acting dumb’. We’re born...and we become older and older. I was an only child and used to being on my own a lot. Except for my sweet dog, Rusty. I truly believe some individuals are born ‘wiser’ (almost as if they’ve learned a lot during living previous lives) than others. We all are born with specific traits I think. Our dna and our parents...and our teachers...and our peers...begin to have an impact on the progress of our ability to perceive and our perception causes an opinion to arise within our minds. That’s just my take.
As I grew older...during my later teen years...I disliked being treated as if I ‘needed’ someone else to make me happy. Some guys just seemed to think they ‘owned’ me. That was my perception and my opinion was: well, hell....just because we have gone to the movies a few times...or to a school dance....and you’ve met my mom and dad....you can’t tell me what to do...or how to ‘be’.
Took me a long time to learn that one individual can’t change another individual. No matter who they are...I’m talking about after my daughters grew up too. Once a child grows up and becomes an adult (and starts perceiving and making choices which a parent doesn’t necessarily agree with), that parent has to realize there’s really nothing more they can do ..... except to continue to love that adult child.
Children have to learn from mistakes sometimes....just like we all do. Hopefully...they do learn.
After being married for 7 years, I had enough. I was content raising my girls alone (since my ex enjoyed partying with friends much more than spending time with his family). I never remarried...dated a few guys...but my oh my...sometimes the ‘drama’ was excruciating, for me. These guys were not bad....some were really nice....but the fact that they couldn’t give me my space (my alone time with my children)..just caused me to pull back from them.
It’s probably in my dna. I’ve coped with almost everything in my life...by myself. I trust in the Universe to keep me going. I love my grandkids (all adults). I love my daughters....even tho my youngest daughter passed away 9 years ago from heart disease. The physical form is gone...but not my love,. Love is eternal, in my opinion. I love nature. I love wildlife. I love a lot. Not romantic love. The other kind of love...kinda like deep rooted love of life, in general. Love keeps me going.
We’re all just visitors here. Remember that. Wishing you all all the best things in life....especially love.🥰
Wow!! Thanks for sharing your life with me!! It's amazing what a song can do...brings out emotions, makes us recall memories, moments, and for you..a lifetime!
@@joannkravet9793 Thank you. It’s very true. Hearing this song again...after so many many years...caused numerous memories, thoughts and feelings to arise within me. It’s funny how something (like a song, a certain aroma, an old photo, etc...) is capable of doing that. Even as I was commenting, I couldn’t stop. I wanted to try to get all my emotions out and share. I didn’t mean to ramble on for so long tho. 😊
Loved reading your comment ♥️ you are a gorgeous soul! ♥️
@@vanessacrystal3796 TY. Light and love going out to you....💖💫
it's incredible how much this song is ahead of its time
Ανδρέας Χούνδρης That's exactly what I was thinking
Actually, the feminist movement has stalled. This song isn't ahead of it's time, we just haven't made that much progress.
Ανδρέας Χούνδρης facts!
Only in "free" countries
Exactly
All keep thinking is Harley. Her intro in the film with this playing was perfect.
"Just let me be myself, that's all I ask of you..."
This song was waaaaaaaaay ahead of it's time!
the lyrics send a strong, much needed message
Yes she were controlled as she sang what ahe went tru
She changed my life at the age of about 12 or 13, I knew then that no one person would ever control my life, and they haven't. I loved my husband, still love my children, but I am as headstrong as they come. Thanks Leslie I am 62 yrs old now. 2013 (63 in Aug). Happy Birthday, so glad to know you are still with us. 1946-present age 66
Same with me..I knew an education could make me independent and able to take care of myself, no way I was gonna end up pregnant in high school, like so many other friends I had, and it changed their Ives for the worse, I was NOT ever gonna be dependent on a man…I saw so many married men cheat on their wives with multiple women in my Moms bars she owned…getting a College Degree became my one goal in In my young life….was not getting trapped in a loveless marriage…
WOW!...heard it from watching the First Wives Club...heard and knew of Lesley Gore. I know Quincy Jones wrote and produced her #1 It's My Party (1963)...but hearing this song...DAMN!...this woman was SOOOOOOO ahead of her time with this anthem...when I read up on this song ..it remains at #2 for 3 weeks in the middle of The Beatles invasion in 1964...not to shabby for Lesley...outstanding!
Brave song from 1963 when gals were supposed to do as they were told... Thankful that times have changed and a nice dress or a fine perfume get the job done... This is tongue in cheek of course. Lesley sang this song as she meant it. Strong pushback against the times and a lovely singer. She done good...
Dear my future boyfriends and husband.
lol it says dont tie me down and dont say i cant go out with other boys... what???
means let me do what i want and let me date who i want
That's right!
@@maddiehiggins5311 are u reaply this dumb
@@maddiehiggins5311 if it’s relationship wise I think it means like don’t control me
First heard it in a radio station and feel in love instantly. You see, since english is not my native language I had a hard time tipping the lyrics. Worth it!
It's all about power and control....great song and lyrics
Yes it is
This is my perfect song....I've been the Captain of my own ship for many years...wouldn't change a thing...thanks to experiencing such a bad, abuse relationship in my younger days....he taught me what not to accept in a relationship without knowing it.
I'll be forever grateful ....a lesson well learned and never to be repeated. 🤗❤
RIP Lesley Gore. God has gained another beautiful angel.
R.I.P. Lesley - You brought a lot of fun to a LOT of people!
Leslie Gore Thank You for feeding our souls with great music... R.I.P. and of course you will be missed ,but never forgotten.
This is a possessive world we live in. I sooooooooo appreciate this song. Every single lyric. It was perfectly written. How I live my life. #freedom #individuality #freetobeyou #notowned
It just gets worse from here
This song makes me want to cry. It was so true at the time it was released. Leslie gore you are missed. I was about 18 when this song came out. One of my all time favorites
Lesley Gote's version was and is the best version of this song that was important for many people.
I just love this song! Ladies this one always makes me feel better!
Possessed Sister Mary Eunice :3
Nice old classic tune 🤗
RIP Lesley Gore. Sadly missed.
i love this way more than Grace the new singer in suicide squad!!
yea
ME TOO by FAR !! TY for this !
Sii
@@mossgore9919 yk they don’t assign singers for movies?they mostly ask for permission to use their song that has been our for days months years even grace did a good good still this is just the original dont hate on her for remixing!
@@moon9574 this was 4 years ago I was 12 both are good ig?
OMGOSH!!! I'm watching that movie RIGHT NOW and I'm soo LOVING it! :-)..what a great and empowering song for us women :-)
Dear Lord! Such a powerful song., so strong!
Thanks for the post...I was really super young when this came out...However I have older siblings and heard their music...This was one of them...I really liked it and this is the first time I've heard it in years...Rest in Peace Lesley...When I got older, I referred to this song when I was dating guys...So many of them wanted it to just be them and I didn't want to be tied down to one guy, heck I was to young for that...Thanks to Lesley, I found my soul mate...Love to Lesley and HUGS !!!
I absolutely love this song. The first time I heard it was in the horror movie The Woods and then again in American Horror Story: Asylum when Sister Mary Eunice is singing along with it. :)
I just heard it in american horror story. What a great song man 4 days in my head i cant remove it from my brain haha
@@anibaltavora lol Right? It's so hard not to get it out of your head.
Just heard this song on The Handmaids Tale. Perfect song for the show
Great song by Leslie gore !!!!!!!
First time I fell in like with this song was on First Wives Club when Goldie,Bette, and Diane was singing it
Absolutely Leslie Gore you go girl!!
i love the vibe to this song, its good
This is a great song! The lyrics are so true👍💖
Great job on this Tünde! This great song and version deserves to live on. I've been singing this all day.
Great no. 2 song from Lesley, 1964. From her 2nd Mercury album, LESLEY GORE SINGS OF MIXED-UP HEARTS.
My favorite song when I was little was It's my party... Of course it wasn't new by the time I knew about music. May she rest in Peace
I love this song
Beautiful lyrics.....❤
In my favorites... Love it!!
2022 and this song is still relevant 😞
The First Wives Club brought me here ♥♥♥
I love this song. It is a great song.
¡¡¡¡Tremendo tema!!!!.

I soo LOVE this song!!!
…Grazie ! Liliann ! ❤
On this day in 1963 {December 22nd} "You Don't Own Me" by Lesley Gore entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; and on January 26th, 1964 it peaked at #2 {for 3 weeks} and spent 13 weeks on the Top 100...
Talk about bad timing; the three weeks she was at #2 some new group named the Beatles were at #1 for their first time with "I Want To Hold Hand" {"You Don't Own Me" had jumped from #13 to #2, the Beatles moved from #3 to #1}...
Between 1963 and 1967 she had nineteen records make the Top 100; with four reaching the Top 10 and one peaking at #1 {"It's My Party" for two weeks in 1963, and it was also her debut record on the Top 100}...
Ms. Gore, born Lesley Sue Goldstein, will celebrate her 68th birthday come next May 2nd...
sauquoit13456 not bad timing...just great company...
Lesley Gore She's Really Beautiful And Pretty I Really ❤ Her So Much 🥰
Gorgeous blonde and talented lady
It has been a fav since i was little ❤️
Lesley has an updated version of YOU DON'T OWN ME on her 2005 album, EVER SINCE.
I like this song, saw it in the movie THE WOODS and I love the lyrics! nice song, the lyrics are right
I used to sing this when I was very young, without knowing what the lyrics mean. Hahaha
It was released in1963 and I was born in 1957.
I love this song. Heard it on The First Wife's Club.
A great singer
A liberated woman for sure. Gentlemen, take note!
thank you so much for making this! this song is AMIZEING!!
On this day in 1975 {May 16th} Lesley Gore appeared on the NBC-TV program 'The Midnight Special'...
She performed a medley of her hits; "It's My Party" {#1 for 2 weeks in 1963}, "Judy's Turn to Cry" {#5 in 1963}, "Maybe I Know" {#14 in 1964}, and "You Don't Own Me" {#2 for 3 weeks in 1964}...
R.I.P. Robert Weston Smith {aka Wolfman Jack; 1938 - 1995} and Ms. Gore celebrated her 67th birthday two weeks ago on May 2nd..
My friend Mary Eunice sent me here. 😇
song is my life these are the lyrics of a classy bad ass who
don't care how you found it, just glad you did...
Gotta admit this is a GREAT song!! I'm older now but in my youth I can easily see some of my girlfriends singing this song to me. What can I say I was raised kinda weird... I feel bad now but it's a little late for that.
Anyway I'm looking forward in turning my daughter on to this song. I 1st heard it in the movie First Wives Club & I liked it a lot & I had forgotten about it till now.
Beautiful lyrics!! I could see why women/girls would love this song.
This ^ Is my theme song
hahaha.. should the guys of today's generation would be able to hear this song so that they will know how ladies would feel if they are already too possessive
no one has the right to claim a possession on a person whether man or woman; for that would not be love, I Heard this song when I was very young way back then...and didn´t react in any way because the mere wisdom I had at 13 years of age? told me; it Works both ways buddy, yes it does!
Who still loved watching this in 2018?
i love this song
I love it ♥️ every time it makes me thinking about harley quinn 😂
Me in 3am: yOu dOnt oWe mE
Can I tell you how happy it makes me to know people still listen to this song aha
HOW CAN THIS HAVE DISLIKES???????
Well done xxxx
R.I.P. Lesley Gore 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I love this song
Love This Song =)

An Anthem.
I LOVE Mary Eunice
John Soto 0322 me too, but she is the devil. :v
im assuming mid 60s man they were great with the string arrangements....and went the semi dark tones like diamonds are forever...and bang bang by nancy Sinatra....those strings and dark undertones
1961-1964 was the period of time

Feud: Bette and Joan!

Revolutionary song for backthen
Am I the only one here because they remember this song from their childhood?
