That's Just the Way It Is
I have no master, I am free
I do whatever pleases me.
You do whatever you must do,
But you don't own me, I own you
Just listen here and understand,
You'll never have the upper hand,
To emphasize my point of view
You do not own me -- I own you.
I might decide to hide or slink
Or jump up on the sink to drink.
I'll shred the toilet paper, too
'Cause you don't own me, I own you.
At times I might be in the mood
To rub your leg or eat some food.
I might give in a time or two
But just remember, I own you.
