Freedom

I won't let you down I will not give you up
gotta have some faith in my 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 yea

Heaven knows I was just a young boy didn't know what I wanted to be
I was every little hungry school-girls 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 & roll TV
today the way I play the game is not the same no way
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 got to be
take back your picture in the frame take back your singing in the rain
I just hope you'll 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

I won't let you down I will not give you up
gotta have some faith in my sound it's the one good things 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

Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy 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

We won the race got out of the place
went back home got a brand new face for the boys on MTV
today the way I play the game has got to change oh yea
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 the frame don't think that I'll be back again
I just hope you'll 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
I won't let you down I will not give you up
gotta have some faith in my sound it's the one good things 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 stick around

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
then I took the knife as well
posing for another picture everybody's got to sell
but when you shake your ass they notice fast
that 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

Freedom oh freedom my freedom you got to give what you take
freedom hold on to my freedom my freedom you got to give what you take
yea you got to give what you give what you give mmh
may not be what you want for me it's the way it's got to be
lose your face now got to live got to live got to live
