The world is a hungry place and it's never satisfied

You're leaving home, on the run, your mama, she was right

Home was a crowded space but it sometimes gratified

Look around, freedom found, now you've gone

You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go

You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you know

Your life is a precious thing, you can never be denied

You need a job, a place to live, you couldn't help but try

Home was a crowded place and it sometimes satisfied

Turn around, freedom found, now you've gone

Baby, turn back, don't ride the highway

Baby, good luck when you do it your way

You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go

You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go

I don't belong to you, it's only an ocean away

You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go

When there's nothing in your way and all of it burns inside

Reaching out on your own, reaching out, you're reaching out on your own

Lust is a hungry place and it's never satisfied

You need to find the gift of love that comes from deep inside

Your heart is a special place and you're always there, I'm always there for you

You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go

You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you know

I don't belong to you, it's only an ocean away

You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go

Baby, turn back, don't ride the highway

Baby, good luck when you do it your way
