| I belong to me Music by: Sylvester Levay/Book and Lyrics by: Micheal Kunze Suzan Erens as Sissi I will not give up my own self Just to be with you I will not be glad just to do What I'm told to do I'm not meant to be your property No, I belong I me If I want to reach for the stars You can't hold me back I want to take chances Far off from the beaten track Don't force me to be what I can't be I belong to me If you try to tame me I will not obey I'd rather leave you alone If you try to change me I must break away To be what I am on my own I'm freezing, I'm burning I live without compromise I'm growing, I'm learning I'm ready to pay the price I know it's not easy to be free But I belong to me I hate to be burdened With duties that I despise You know I can't stand To be watched by a thousand eyes I flee from the crowd in agony I just belong to me If you want to keep me Don't hold me so tight I can't give my life for your love If you want to break me I'll not even fight I'll just fly away like a dove 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!
