Freedom 90

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I won't let you down

I will not give you up

Gotta have some faith in the sound

It's the one good thing that I've got

I won't let you down

So please don't give me up

Cause I would really, really love to stick around

Oh, yeah

Heaven knows I was just a young boy

Didn't know what I wanted to be?

I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy

And I guess it was enough for me

To win the race? A prettier face!

Brand new clothes and a big fat place

On your rock and roll TV

But today the way I play the game is not the same (no way)

Think I'm gonna get me some happy

I think there's something you should know

(I think it's time I told you so)

There's something deep inside of me

(There's someone else I've got to be)

Take back your picture in a frame

(Take back your singing in the rain)

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

All we have to do now

Is take these lies and make them true somehow

All we have to see

Is that I don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me

Yeah, yeah

Freedom

(I won't let you down)

Freedom

(I will not give you up)

Freedom

(Gotta have some faith in the sound)

You've gotta give for what you take

(It's the one good thing that I've got)

Freedom

(I won't let you down)

Freedom

(So please don't give me up)

Freedom

(Cause I would really, really love to stick around)

You've gotta give for what you take

Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy

What a kick just a buddy and me

We had every big shot good-time band on the run boy

We were living in a fantasy

(We were living in a fantasy)

We won the race, got out of the place

I went back home, got a brand new face

For the boys on MTV

But today the way I play the game has got to change (oh, yeah)

Now I'm gonna get myself happy

I think there's something you should know

(I think it's time I stopped the show)

There's something deep inside of me

(There's someone I forgot to be)

Take back your picture in a frame

(Don't think that I'll be back again)

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

All we have to do now

Is take these lies and make them true somehow

All we have to see

Is that I don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me

Yeah, yeah

Freedom

(I won't let you down)

Freedom

(I will not give you up)

Freedom

(gotta have some faith in the sound)

You've gotta give for what you take

(It's the one good thing that I've got)

Freedom

(I won't let you down)

Freedom

(So please don't give me up)

Freedom

(Cause I would really, really love to stick around)

You've gotta give for what you take

Well, it looks like the road to heaven

But it feels like the road to hell

When I knew which side my bread was buttered

I took the knife as well

Posing for another picture

Everybody's got to sell

But when you shake your ass, they notice fast

And some mistakes were built to last

That's what you get

That's what you get

That's what you get

I say that's what you get

That's what you get for changing your mind

(That's what you get for changing your mind)

That's what you get

That's what you get

(And after all this time)

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

All we have to do now

Is take these lies and make them true somehow

All we have to see

Is that I don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me

Yeah, yeah

Freedom

(Oh)

Freedom

(My)

Freedom

You've gotta give for what you take

Freedom

(I'll hold on to my)

Freedom

(My)

Freedom

You've gotta give for what you take
