Lyrics
So you think you can own me, Well you'd better just think again You'd better watch your steps now, Woman, Cause I ain't like those other men There's something burning inside me, That makes me want to be free And when I get these feelings honey, You better keep away from me

There's things in life now, baby, That I know I've got to do And I need your love now, baby, To help me see it through So you think you can own me, Well you'd better just think again You'd better watch your steps now, Woman, cause I ain't like those other men Look out, yeah

So you think you can own me, Well you'd better just think again You'd better watch your steps now, Woman, Cause I ain't like those other men There's something burning inside me, That makes me want to be free And when I get these feelings honey, You better keep away from me
