mom i met a man
would you believe it, cause i can't
i'm learning how to behave and to forget
just where i came from
i want to make you proud, but i don't know how to say no,
and he holds me so tightly, i have nowhere else to go
he says, "you're owned by me, by me"
he says, "you're owned by me, by me
so i will take what i please
you are owned by me by me"
he says, "you're a doll, you're a vision so i want you,
pinned up on this wall to show my wife
what she is lacking, tell my sons where to call,
remind myself i am a man.
so i may take what i please.
you are owned by me by me.
you are owned by me by me.
you are owned by me by me."
bind my feet to stay with you.
what i would and wouldn't do
to stay stuck in this day dream with a perfect guy like you
so i'll get used to the blood
i'll learn how not to speak
i deserve every reaction
i deserve to feel so weak
he says, "you're owned by me, by me."
he says, "you're owned by me, by me
so i will take what i please
you are owned by me by me."
