I Belong To Me

I Belong To Me (from the musical ELISABETH) - Various Artists

Composed by：Sylvester Levay

I will not be well-bred

Obedient and well-behaved

I will not be humble

Don't jumble to be enslaved

I don't want to be your property

'Cause I belong to me

When I walk the tightrope

Don't stop me just let me try

I want to take chances

Find out what it takes to fly

I don't care at all if you agree

I belong to me

If you try to range me

On your own array

You force me to leave you alone

If you try to change me

I just break away

To be what I am on my own

I'm freezing I'm burning

You can't put me on the shelf

I'm growing I'm learning

To be even more myself

I know it's not easy to be free

But I belong to me

I hate to be burdened

With duties and ancient lies

Can't stand to be touched by

The looks of a thousand eyes

I flee from the crowd in agony

I just belong to me

If you want to find me

Don't hold me so tight

Don't break me and don't take me on

If you want to bind me

I'm ready to fight

I'll shake off my chains and be gone

I'm here when you need me

I live and I die with you

I'll share all your troubles

I'll laugh and I'll cry with you

You can blame me and bless me

But you cannot possess me

'Cause I belong to me

To me
