Peter Alsop My Body Lyrics


My Body by Peter Alsop

My nose was made to sniff and to sneeze,
To smell what I want and to pick when I please.
My body's nobody's body but mine.
You run your own body, let me run mine.

My lungs were made to hold air when I breathe.
I am in charge of just how much... I need.
My body's nobody's body but mine.
You run your own body, let me run mine.

My legs were made to dance me around,
To walk and to run and to jump up and down.
My mouth was made to blow up a balloon.
I can eat, kiss, and spit. I can whistle a tune.

(Instrumental break)

No one knows my body better than me.
It tells me, "Let's eat!". It tells me, "Go pee!".
My body's nobody's body but mine.
You run your own body, let me run mine.

Don't hit me or kick me. Don't push or shove.
Don't hug me too hard when you show me your love,
'Cause my body's nobody's body but mine.
You run your own body, let me run mine.

Sometimes, it's hard to say, "No" and be strong.
When our "No" feelings come then I know something's wrong,
'Cause my body's mine from my head to my toes.
Please leave it alone when you hear me say, "No".

My body's nobody's body but mine.
You run your own body, let me run mine.
Secrets are fun when they're filled with surprise,
But not when they hurt us with tricks, threats, and lies.

My body's mine to be used as I choose,
Not to be threatened or forced or abused.
My body's nobody's body but mine.
You run your own body, let me run mine.

Our body's one body, one voice is heard.
We sing for freedom when we sing these words.
My body's nobody's body but mine.
You run your own body, let... Me run mine.
