‘Lesley Gore’
Lesley Gore – You Don’t Own Me
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
And 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
Oh, 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
To live my life the way I want
Lesley Gore – It’s My Party
Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone,but Judy left the same time.
Why was he holding her hand,when he’s supposed to be mine?
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to,cry if I want to, cry if I want to.
You would cry too if it happened to you.
Play all my records, keep dancing all night,but leave me alone for a while,
’til Johnny’s dancing with me,I’ve got no reason to smile.
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to,cry if I want to, cry if I want to.
You would cry too if it happened to you.
Judy and Johnny just walked thru’ the door,like a queen with her king.
Oh, what a birthday surprise,Judy’s wearing his ring.
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to,cry if I want to, cry if I want to.
You would cry too if it happened to you.
