You Belong To Me

Lyrics

What are you girls gonna tell your mother

I don't want to hear another word about young lovers

Or hiding your boyfriend in the cupboard

She's been to see the doctor, so you hope that she recovers

You act dumb, you say you're so numb

You say you don't come under his thumb

Chorus:

Don't wanna be a goody-goody

I don't want just anybody

No, I don't want anybody

Saying "You belong to me, you belong to me"

Your eyes are absent, your mouth is silent

Pumping like a fire hydrant

Things you see are getting hard to swallow

You're easily led, but you're much too scared to follow

You've been warned, you're going to get torn

No uniform is gonna keep you warm

(Chorus)
