There's a blue moon crying
In my heart tonight
But you look at me n' you smile
Sayin' everything
Everything's gonna be alright
(Be alright)
But there is a place in me
That I can't hide
N' you've gotta
Got to take a little deeper look inside me
Because my heart
My heart is stronger than you'll ever know
N' god damn you
If you make me let it go
Gonna let it go
Got to let it go
Because I have
Give you my freedom
I've given you my right to choose
N' I have
I've given you my love and compassion
So tell me
What have I got to lose
You say one thing and then you do another
How am I to be your lover
If you keep changing your mind
I am telling you that I
I will change mine
I've given you my freedom
I've given you my right to choose
N' I have
I've given you my love and compassion
So tell me
What have I got to lose
I've given you my freedom
My right to choose
My compassion
What have I got to lose
N' I have
Give you my freedom
My right to choose
My compassion
What have I got to lose
