don t try to own me

Gary Wright

I, I need to breath
I need to feel I m free
But you want all of me
Why, why can t you let go
Our love needs wings to fly
Not empty words or lies
There must be a way
We ve got to work it out
Cos I wanna stay
I don t need another wounded heart

Can t you see you re tearin me apart
Don t try to own me
Don t try to own me
I don t wanna be tied down
I can feel like I m about to break
Can t you see the smile I wear is fake

Don t try to own me
Don t try to own me
I, I don t wanna leave
Only to find a face
Someone to take your place

Why, why be so blind
I want our love to be
More than the passion we see
There must be a way
We ve got to work it out
Cos I wanna stay
I don t need another wounded heart
No, no, no

Can t you see you re tearin me apart
Don t try to own me
Don t try to own me
I can feel like I m about to break
Feel like I m breaking

Can t you see the smile I wear is fake
Don t try to own me
Don t try to own me
I wanna be I wanna be free
I can t live feelin tied down inside
I don t need another wounded heart
No, no, no

Can t you see you re tearin me apart
Don t try to own me
Don t try to own me
There s got to be some other way
I can feel like I m about to break
I can t stand the feeling
Can t you see the smile I wear is fake

Don t try to own me
Don t try to own me
Cos I can t stand being tied down
I don t need another wounded heart
I m hurtin inside

Can t you see you re tearin me apart
Don t try to own me
Don t try to own me
There s got to be some other way
