[Intro]
I belong to me
Ooh, yeah
Oh
[Verse 1]
It's not that I don't wanna share my life with you, baby
It's just that I'm the one I need to be true to, baby
And I won't give up me to be part of you
It's not that I don't wanna have you in my life, baby
It's just you gotta know that it's got to be right, baby
Before I open up my heart to you
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need somebody to complete me
I complete myself
Nobody's got to belong to somebody else
[Chorus]
I belong to me
I don't belong to you
My heart is my possession
I'll be my own reflection
I belong to me
I'm one, not half of two
And if you're gonna love me
You should know this, baby
I belong to me
[Verse 2]
I gotta let you know before I let you in, baby
That who I am is not about who I am with, baby
That don't mean I don't wanna be here with you
I do
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need somebody to complete me
I want you to know
I'll give all my love, but I'm not givin' up my soul
[Chorus]
I belong to me (Me)
I don't belong to you
My heart is my possession
I'll be my own reflection (Oh)
I belong to me (I belong to me)
I'm one, not half of two
And if you're gonna love me
You should know this, baby
I belong to me (Ooh yeah)
[Verse 3]
Love don't mean changin' who you are to be
Who somebody wants you to be
Nobody's got to belong to nobody
[Bridge]
I belong to me
I don't belong to you
My heart is my possession
I'll be my own reflection, oh
[Chorus]
I belong to me (I belong to me)
I don't belong to you (Don't belong to you)
My heart is my possession (Oh)
I'll be my own reflection (Baby)
I belong to me
I'm one, not half of two (One, not half of two)
And if you're gonna love me (If you're gonna love me)
You should know this, baby
I belong to me
I Belong to Me was written by Diane Warren.
I Belong to Me was produced by StarGate.
Jessica Simpson released I Belong to Me on Tue Sep 26 2006.
In a 2006 interview with Nerve, Dianne Warren went in depth into how much the song means to her:
One of the songs I wrote and have coming out is called “I Belong to Me,” by Jessica Simpson. Which is ironically not on her album, because they threw it off right before the album came out, and then the...
It wasn’t even going to be on my album because I was kind of afraid to sing the song. It’s a very powerful statement … about owning yourself and controlling yourself. It’s part of evolving, of growing up and becoming a woman."
