NOT YOUR BABY LIBER3 [Intro — Deep Bass Pulse, Dry Finger Snaps, Three Female Voices] [Marisol — Spoken, Confident] You got something to say? [Alina — Soft, Teasing] Make it quick. [Sienna — Low, Powerful] ‘Cause I don’t belong to nobody. [All — Whispered Harmony] Not your baby. [Verse 1 — Marisol, Fast Rhythmic R&B Delivery] You like to tell me what to wear, where to go, Who I can see, what I should know. Got a little jealous when I walk in the room, Like everybody’s looking, baby, what can I do? You want a pretty little picture in a frame, Something you can hold and call by your name. But I got dreams and a life of my own, And I was doing just fine before you came along. [Pre-Chorus — Alina, Smooth Melodic Lead, Rising Harmonies] Don’t put your hands around my freedom, Don’t mistake my love for weakness. If you want me, better understand, I don’t need permission to be who I am. [Chorus — All Three, Punchy Harmonies, Heavy Bass] I’m not your baby, baby, Not your little maybe, maybe. You don’t get to own my heart, You don’t get to play that part. I’m not your baby, baby, Don’t you try to change me, change me. Love me right or let me go, I’m nobody’s girl to own. [Post-Chorus — Marisol Leads, All Respond] [Marisol] Who said I was yours? [All] Not me! [Marisol] Who gave you control? [All] Not me! [Sienna — Strong Belt] You can love me, you can leave me, [All — Rhythmic Unison] But you don’t get to keep me! [Verse 2 — Sienna, Soulful Lead with Rhythmic Phrasing] You say you love a woman with a mind, Then you get nervous when she speaks her mind. You like the fire till it burns too bright, Want me shining only when you’re by my side. I won’t apologize for taking up space, Won’t turn down my light just to save your face. If you want a queen, better know what that means, She can stand beside you without living on her knees. [Pre-Chorus — Alina and Sienna, Interlocking Harmonies] [Alina] Don’t put your hands around my freedom, [Sienna] Don’t mistake my love for weakness. [Alina — High Harmony] If you want me, better understand, [All — Harmony Build] I don’t need permission to be who I am! [Chorus — All Three, Full Three-Part Harmonies] I’m not your baby, baby, Not your little maybe, maybe. You don’t get to own my heart, You don’t get to play that part. I’m not your baby, baby, Don’t you try to change me, change me. Love me right or let me go, I’m nobody’s girl to own. [Bridge — Drums Drop Out, Bass and Handclaps Only] [Marisol — Spoken Rhythm] I can buy my own flowers. [Alina — Soft Melody] I can make my own plans. [Sienna — Soulful] I can give you all my loving, Without putting it in your hands. [Marisol — Rhythmic] Don’t confuse affection with possession. [Alina — Melodic] Don’t turn my devotion into chains. [Sienna — Powerful Rising Belt] If you want forever, learn the lesson— [All — A Cappella, Tight Harmony] Love don’t mean somebody has to change! [Final Chorus — Explosive Vocals, Layered Harmonies] I’m not your baby, baby, Not your little maybe, maybe. You don’t get to own my heart, You don’t get to play that part. I’m not your baby, baby, Don’t you try to change me, change me. Love me right or let me go, I’m nobody’s girl to own. [Sienna — Powerful Ad-Libs] Oh, you can’t own me! No, no, no! [Alina — High Melismatic Harmony] I’m not your ba-a-aby! [Marisol — Rhythmic Ad-Libs] Say it again! Tell him again! [Outro — Bass Fades, Finger Snaps Continue] [Marisol — Spoken] You can call me beautiful. [Alina — Soft] You can call me amazing. [Sienna — Firm] But don’t call me yours. [All — Whispered Harmony] Not your baby.
