I've got to be free Gotta be, gotta be free I've got to be free Gotta be, gotta be free
Long goodbyes, stolen glances Can't explain all that's happened in our past I'm tired of creating lies to be alone I'm living wrong, we're living wrong
More and more you make me Afraid to come around You take the pleasure out of being in love And being down and down and down and down and down For the one who's there for me All I really want to be is free, yeah
I've got to be free, got to be free Gotta be, gotta be free I've got to be free, got to be free Gotta be, gotta be free
You don't know why, haven't got a clue In the dark about why I am leaving you You can't expect me to go on this way No, I cannot stay, I will not stay
More and more you make me Realize what I have home What's taboos exciting But sometimes it just gets old Sometimes it just gets old For as long as I am me, boy All I really want to be is free
I've got to be free, got to be free Gotta be, gotta be free I've got to be free, got to be free Gotta be, gotta be free
I've got to be free, got to be free Gotta be, gotta be free I've got to be free, got to be free Gotta be, gotta be free
I've got to be free, got to be free Gotta be, gotta be free I've got to be free, got to be free Gotta be, gotta be free
