[Verse 1] You like the dress, you hate the shoes, You've got a list of things you'd choose. A little louder, little less, Smile for the camera, lose the mess. You say you only want what's best, Then hand me someone else's dress. You can tell me what you'd rather see— Just don't confuse that girl with me. [Pre-Chorus] You can have an opinion. Everybody does. You can call it good advice— But that doesn't make me yours. [Chorus] NOT YOURS! My mouth, my name, my noise. NOT YOURS! My mistakes, my stupid choices. Love me, leave me, shut the door, I've heard all of this before. You can want me any way you want— NOT YOURS! [Verse 2] You like the songs, just lose that sound, Take the crooked edges, smooth them down. Three minutes twenty, radio clean, Something angry dressed up sweet. Sign right here, we'll make you big, Just change the hair and lose that riff. Funny how you love what we can do Right until we don't belong to you. [Pre-Chorus] You can make an offer. We can tell you what it's worth. You can own the little plastic disc— You don't own the girls. [Chorus] NOT YOURS! Our mouths, our names, our noise. NOT YOURS! Our mistakes, our stupid choices. Buy the record, hate the chord, Turn it up or get bored. Take whatever you came here for— NOT YOURS! [Bridge] Don't need permission To cut my hair. Don't need permission To disappear. Don't need permission To make it loud. Don't need permission To disappoint the crowd. And I don't need to hate you To tell you where I stand. You don't get to keep me Just because you held my hand. [Break — lead alone] Say I'm difficult. ALL: NOT YOURS! Say I'm ungrateful. ALL: NOT YOURS! Say I'll regret it. ALL: NOT YOURS! Maybe I will. [(beat)] Still— ALL: NOT YOURS! [Final Chorus] NOT YOURS! My mouth, my name, my noise. NOT YOURS! My mistakes are still my choice. Love me, leave me, buy the song, Sing every single word along. You can know me, you can want me, You can swear you understand me— NOT. YOURS. [Outro — all four, loose and laughing] Not yours. Not yours. NOT YOURS!
