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
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
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
Freedom
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take


Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy
What a kick just a friend and me
We had every big shot
good-time band on the run boy
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
Freedom
Freedom
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
Freedom
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
