It doesn^Òt really sound like the typical maiden-sound. It^Òs only 2.41 minutes long and it hasn^Òt got got a chorus and that^Òs very unusual for IRON MAIDEN-songs. ^F A--5------0------3-----------------3--| E-------------------------------------| Song-structure: Opening-riff (2 times) Riff 2 (2 times) Verse (2 times) Opening-riff (2 times) Riff 2 (2 times) Verse (2 times) Drum-bridge Solo-riff (4 times) Riff 3 (2 times) Bridge before last verse Verse (2 times) Opening riff Riff 2 End Lyrics: So you think you can own me, well you^Òd better just think again You^Òd better watch you steps now, woman, cause I ain^Òt like those other men There^Òs something burning inside me that makes me want to be free And when I get these feelings honey, you better keep away from me There^Òs things in life now, baby, that I know I^Òve got to do And I need your love now, baby, to help me see it through So you think you can own me, well you^Òd better just think again You^Òd better watch your steps now, woman, cause I ain^Òt like those other men So you think you can own me, well you^Òd better just think again You^Òd better watch your steps now , woman, cause I ain^Òt like those other men There^Òs something burning inside me that makes me want to be free And when I get these feelings honey, you better keep away from me
