i'm not anybody's girl lyrics

Leaving everything at home
I headed out in the pouring rain
Kept thinkin' 'bout the two of us
And how we ended up this way

It took you by surprise, baby
When I told you yesterday
'Cause you never thought
That I could be that strong

And I don't have a second more
I'm gonna waste on you
And you can hate me if you need to

But I'm not anybody's girl
And I will not conform
And I won't play that good girlfriend
You pushed around before

And I'm not anybody's girl
That's how it's gonna be
Can't tell me what to do or say or who to be
And the only one I'll ever answer to is me

Wasted too much time
On analyzing everything I do
Only to figure out
That I was wasting time on you

I don't really blame you, baby
I'm a little guilty too
'Cause I never even told you
You were wrong

And if you think that you gotta control me
Just to be a man
Then, baby, you will never understand

That I'm not any body's girl
And I will not belong
And there's nothing you can do for me
I can't do on my own

And I'm not any body's girl
That's just the way it is
And I will do exactly what I wanna do
With anyone and anywhere I choose

And I will choose what's best for me
And do what comes most naturally
As long as I am free

And when I fall in love again
I'll take a vow to never bend
To someone else's vision of me
'Cause I'm free

I'm not anybody's girl
And I will not conform
And I won't play that good girlfriend
You pushed around before

And I'm not anybody's girl
That's how it's gonna be
Can't tell me what to do or say or who to be
And the only one I'll answer to is me

And I will not belong
And there's nothing you can do for me
I can't do on my own

And I'm not anybody's girl
That's just the way it is
Can't tell me what to do or say or who to be
