Queen - I Want To Break Free Lyrics

Queen Lyrics

"I Want To Break Free"

I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self-satisfied, I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free

I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the first time
And this time I know it's for real
I've fallen in love, yeah
God knows, God knows I've fallen in love

It's strange but it's true, yeah
I can't get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh, how I want to be free, baby
Oh, how I want to be free
Oh, how I want to break free

But life still goes on
I can't get used to living without, living without
Living without you by my side
I don't want to live alone, hey
God knows, got to make it on my own
So baby, can't you see?
I've got to break free

I've got to break free
I want to break free, yeah
I want, I want, I want, I want to break free

The single of this song is 30 seconds longer than the album version: it has a longer synthesizer intro and a longer solo.

African National Congress in South Africa chose this song as their anthem in the late 1980s: Nelson Mandela was still in jail and the apartheid was still in place.

The music video for this song parodies a popular British television show "Coronation Street".

When Lisa Stansfield sang this song at the 1992 Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, she came on stage wearing hair curlers and with a vacuum cleaner in tribute to the song's video.

Brian May was asked in an interview with Q magazine in March 2011 about each band member's character in the video. He replied, "Everybody thinks that was Freddie's idea because it looks like something that he would love to do, but it actually came from Roger's girlfriend at the time, strangely enough. It was her idea to pastiche the 'Coronation Street' women."
