  • Don't you go leaving
    Baby, I'll find you
    Tell all your secrets
    No one will want you
    It's for your own good
    I know what's best for you
    If you won't sleep with me
    There'll be no rest for you

    Until the day you're broke
    Until you drop and choke
    I'll be your man
    This much I know
    Until the empire falls
    Until you think it all

    You gave your love to me
    And now you are my property
    You sold your soul
    You can't retrieve the love I stole
    From you
    It's true
    Deny with every thing you do
    You're my property
    You're my property

    Sell you into bondage
    Baby, I own you
    You'll entertain all my friends
    Dressed in the latest trendy frocks
    You better tattoo
    That I am your patriarch
    It's your ambition
    Soon you will fear the dark

    Cause I look in your bed
    Until the day you see
    That you mean nothing to me
    Until the day I find
    Someone to fall in line
    Without a single sin
    Without an opinion

    You gave your love to me
    And now you are my property
    You sold your soul
    You can't retrieve the love I stole
    From you
    It's true
    Deny with every thing you do
    You're my property
    You're my property

    "Baby, I know you've got all those crazy loft goals:
    Going to art school and following your dreams and whatnot.
    Blah blah blah, just throw it to the side.
    You know I can support us all on my own and worst case
    I'll just have to sell some drugs to my little brother's friends.
    If you do have to sell your body, once or twice or seven times,
    It'll be worth it. And trust me, one day my band is gonna make it.
    And this will all be just a distant distant dream.."

    Until the earth's removed
    Or daddy don't approve
    Whatever happens first
    Depending on my mood


    You gave your love to me
    And now you are my property
    You sold your soul
    You can't retrieve the love I stole
    From you
    It's true
    Deny with every thing you do
    You're my property
    You're my property
    You're my property
    You're my property
