Freedom 90

George Michael · Twenty Five (Deluxe Edition) [2006]

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



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, 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'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



Freedom, I want let you down

Freedom, I will not give you up

Freedom, you gotta have faith in the sound

Freedom, you've gotta give for what you take



Freedom, I want let you down

Freedom, so please don't give me up

Freedom, cause I would really....

Freedom, you've gotta give for what you take

So 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

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

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



Freedom, I want let you down

Freedom, I will not give you up

Freedom, you gotta have some faith in the sound

Freedom, you've gotta give for what you take



Freedom, I want let you down

Freedom, so please don't give me up

Freedom, cause I would really....

Freedom, you've gotta give for what you take

So 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

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



Freedom, freedom, my freedom

You've gotta give for what you take

Freedom, hold on to my freedom, my freedom

You've gotta give for what you take



May not be what you want from me

Just the way it's got to be

Lose the face now, I've got to live

I've got to live, I've got to live
