Au Original song here: http://www.patriaprotestad.com.ar/2006_01_02/ydo.mp3 You don’t own me (A freelancer demanding freedom) You don't own me… I'm not an icon, I’m not a soft You don't own me… (I cant’t deliver so many words!) And don't tell me when to work And don't tell me what to say Trust you will have it done (Don't call on holidays!) You don't own me, I’m not your keyboard, I’m not your mouse! You don't own me, I am the one Leading in this House. I don't tell you how to work I don't tell you what to do Just send my check on time! That's all I ask of you. I'm good, and you know that I am good! I'm free, I am ‘supposed’ to be free! To do my job the way that I want, To add, to fix, combine or delete. I'm good, and you know that I am good! I'm free, I am ‘supposed’ to be free! To do my job the way that I want, To add, to fix, combine or delete. No, no, no… You don’t own me!… You don’t own me!… You don’t own me!… You don’t own me!… You don’t own me!… You don’t own me!… (copy and paste till your client understands) ▲ Collapse | | | Aurora Humarán (X) Argentinië Local time: 09:21 Engels naar Spaans + ...

The song is (yes!) 'You don't own me' (John Madara and David White.) There is a beautiful version by Lesley Gore, but for the ocassion I chose a more 'stimulating' one by Bette Midler, Diane Keaton and Goldie Hawn (from the film First Wives Club.) sarahl wrote: Aurora Humarán wrote: I'm free, I am ‘supposed’ to be free!

I read "you don't "OWE" me!" (song to a client). I almost fainted! Imagine! (that would be the anti-song! yucks!) Cheers, Ana | | | This is wonderful! | Mar 5, 2006 |
It inspires me to dig out a rhyme that came up in a fit of pique a while ago: Sure, I'll take .01 euro, dude, Or better yet, one cent - How shall I show my gratitude? (The translator's lament.) And when might this mean check arrive, Depending on your bent? With luck, while I am still alive… So I can pay my rent! | |
