"Freedom" lyrics
(originally by Wham!)
Heaven knows I was just a young boy
Didn't know what I wanted to be
(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
(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
(Rock and roll TV)
But today the way I play the game is not the same, no way
I think I'm gonna get myself happy
(I think I'm gonna get myself 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 got to give 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 got to give what you take
Heaven knows we sure had some fun, boy
What a kick just a buddy and me
(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
(Living in a fantasy)
We won the race, got out of the place
Went back home, got a brand new face
For the boys on MTV
(Boys on MTV, boys on MTV)
But today the way I play the game has got to change, oh yeah
Now I'm gonna get myself happy
(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 got to give 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 got to give what you take
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
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
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
I don't belong to you
Is that I don't belong to you
You don't belong to me
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 got to give 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 got to give what you take
Got to give what you take
Freedom
To call on me
Freedom
Freedom
Call me baby
Freedom
That's all I need
Freedom
I would really, really love to stick around
That's my freedom
Freedom
Didn't know what I wanted to be
(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
(I guess it was enough for me)
