This Is My Body

This is my body, it’s not yours
You don’t own it or control it
So, don’t touch or fondle me without my permission
Keep your hands to yourself

This is my body it’s not yours
You don’t own it or control it
So, stop harassing me own the job, no means no
You only want to rob me of my dignity and self-respect

This is my body it’s not yours
You don’t own it or control it
Why take advantage of me? 
By spiking my drink with a knock-out drug

This is my body it’s not yours
You don’t own it or control it
Don’t show me your naked body 
that’s something I didn’t ask to see

This is my body it’s not yours
You don’t own it or control it
I’m not your target to take advantage of
My body is a temple that need to be respected

I’m not taking it anymore
I will stand up, stand firm and stand tall
