Free,
free, set them free.
Free, free, set them free.
If you need somebody, call my name
If you want someone,
you can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
You gotta lock it up and throw away the key
If you want to hold on to
your possession,
don't even think about me
But if you love somebody,
if you love someone
If you love somebody,
if you love someone
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 guilty cage
That's all some people ever wanna be
If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone,
set them free
You ought to set them free
Set them free,
set them free
Listen, you can't control
an independent heart
You can't tell the one
you love apart,
hear me now.
Are ever conditioned to be
lieve that we can't live,
we can live here being
happy with less.
There's so many riches,
so many souls,
with everything you see.
If want to possess,
if you love somebody,
call my name.
If you want someone,
you can do the same.
If you want to keep something precious,
you gotta lock it up
and throw away the key.
If you want to hold on to
your possession,
don't even think about me.
But 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,
if you set them free,
an d if they really love you,
they'll come back to you,
if that's where
they want
Everything's a better place
if you love somebody
