if you love somebody set them free

If you need somebody call my name

If you want someone you can do the same

If you want to keep something precious

You got to lock it up and throw away the key

If you want to hold onto your possession

Dont even think about me

If you love somebody set them free

If its a mirror you want just look into my eyes

Or a whipping boy someone to despise

Or a prisoner in the dark

Tied up in chains you just cant see

Or a beast in a gilded cage

Thats all some people ever want to be

If you love somebody set them free

You cant control an independent heart

Cant tear the one you love apart

Forever conditioned to believe that we cant live

We cant live here and be happy with less

So many riches so many souls

Everything we see we want to possess

If you need somebody call my name

If you want someone you can do the same

If you want to keep something precious

You got to lock it up and throw away the key

If you want to hold onto your possession

Dont even think about me

If you love somebody ...set them free
