Aqualung - If You Love Somebody Set Them Free Lyrics

Aqualung Lyrics

"If You Love Somebody Set Them Free"
(originally by Sting)

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
Don't even think about me
Don't even think about me

If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone, set them free
Set them free

If it's 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 can't see
Or a beast in a gilded cage
That's all some people ever want to be
That's all some people ever want to be

If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone, set them free
Set them free

You can't control an independent heart
Can't tear the one you love apart
Forever conditioned to believe that we can't live
We can't live here and be happy with less
So many riches
So many souls
With everything we see that we want to possess

If you need somebody
Call my name
If you want someone
If you want someone
You can do
You can do the same

If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone, set them free
Set them free
Set them free
Set them free
Set them free
