Not My Slave (1988 Boingo Alive Version)

With sadness in my heart and joy in my mind

I thought about the ghosts that we left behind

With everyone around telling us what to do

With deafening sound, whisper, "I love you"

With fire in your eyes, may it never go out

The sweetness of your tears makes it feel like night

I see no escape from the roles we always play

What do we have to prove on this judgment day?

You're mine now, but you're not my sister

You're mine now, but you're not my slave

You're mine now, but you're not my child

You're mine now, but you're not my slave

You're missing the whole point

You're not my little pet

Don't throw away your life

The game's not over yet

I do not own your soul

Don't want you in a cage

I only want your heart

To find a special place

Ooh

Ooh, but you're not my slave

Ooh

You're missing the whole point

You're not my little pet

Don't throw away your life

The game's not over

(You're mine)

You're mine, but you're not my sister

(Ooh, you're mine)

You're mine now, but you're not my slave

(Ooh, you're mine)

You're mine, but you're not my child

(Ooh, you're mine)

You're mine now, but you're not my slave

(You're mine)

You're mine now, but you're not my slave

With sand in my heart and clouds in my head

I thought about us both and the life we led

From pages in a book and pictures on a screen

We make ourselves like clay from someone else's dream

One second, you are cast just like stones at my feet

But I am not a king; please don't worship me

With everyone around telling us what to do

With deafening sound, whisper, "I love you"

You're missing the whole point

You're not my little pet

Don't throw away your life

The game's not over yet

I do not own your soul

Don't want you in a cage

I only want your heart

To find a special place

You're mine

Ooh, but you're not my slave

You're mine

Ooh, but you're not my slave

(You're mine)

You're mine now, but you're not my sister

(Ooh, you're mine)

You're mine now, but you're not my slave

(Ooh, you're mine)

You're mine now, but you're not my child

(Ooh, you're mine)

You're mine now, but you're not my slave

(You're mine)

You're mine now, but you're not my sister

(You're mine)

You're mine now, but you're not my slave

(You're mine)

You're mine now, but you're not my child

(You're mine)

You're mine now, but you're not my slave

(You're mine)

You're mine, you're mine now

(Ooh, but you're not my slave)

(You're mine) You're mine

(Ooh, but you're not my slave)

(You're mine) Ooh

(Ooh, but you're not my slave)

(You're mine) You're mine, you're mine

(Ooh, but you're not my slave...)
