此首《You Don't Own Me》17的美女歌手Lesley Gore於1963年底所唱行,然在次年到告示牌榜的第2名,而冠曲是英披合唱初打入美市,到不行的《I Want To Hold Your Hand》,遇到超的手而屈居其下,在也只能言。Lesley Gore的成名曲是1963的冠曲《It's My Party》,此曲她第2首的曲,也是她最後一首入榜前10名的歌曲。
此曲歌所表的是男友的,明白的指出男友不有她,所以不必告她做及些什等等……。此曲多年女性得到感,也常被是形成「第二波女主」的因素之一。
Lesley Gore於2015死於肺癌 ( 68 ),在她的告中提及,她的首《You Don't Own Me》是「indelibly defiant ( 不可磨的挑?)」。Gore死後一月,澳洲女歌手Grace行她的首曲,就是翻唱此首《You Don't Own Me》( 美舌歌手G-Easy亦穿插在歌曲中 ),Grace and G-Easy的版本在澳洲大,得「澳洲唱片工 ( ARIA )」售3白金 ( 21 ) 的。值得一的是,Grace翻唱版的作人,正是Lesley Gore年的同一作人Quincy Jones。
2005,Lesley Gore在接受女同承自己是「蕾 (Lesbian )」,1982起就和珠Lois Sasson在一起,Lois Sasson也成Gore死後的受益人。

在多的翻唱者中,有到Dusty Springfield 和Joan Jett,莫非此曲和「女同」有著神秘的?哈哈,然不是。像在1996的影《The First Wives Club》( 台:大老婆俱部 ) 中大唱此曲的Bette Midler(蒂蜜勒)、Goldie Hawn( 歌蒂)和Diane Keaton (黛安基),三人然都不是。


Joan Jett
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
And don't tell me what to do
Oh, 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, 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
