Freedom [Wham!]
George Michael · Twenty Five (Deluxe Edition) [2006]
People say that you're no good for me
Saw your lover with another
She's making a fool of you
Oh
If you loved me baby
You'd deny it
But you laugh and tell me I should try it
Tell me I'm a baby and I don't understand
But you know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
'Cause baby
You could drag me to hell and back
Just as long as we're together
And you do
I don't want your freedom
I don't want to play around
I don't want nobody's baby
Part - time love just brings me down
I don't want your freedom
Girl all I want right now is you
Like a prisoner who has his own key
But I can't escape until you love me
I just go from day to day
Knowing all about the other boys
You take my hand and tell me I'm a fool
To give you all I do
I bet you someday baby
Someone says the same to you
But you know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
'Cause baby
You could drag to hell and back
Just as long as we're together
And you do
Oh
I don't want your freedom
I don't want to play around
I don't want nobody's baby
Part - time love just brings me down
I don't need your freedom
Girl all I want right now is you
But you know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
'Cause baby
You could drag me to hell and back
Just as long as we're together
And you do
I don't want your freedom
I don't need to play around
I don't want nobody's baby
Part - time love just brings me down
I don't want your
(I don't want your)
I don't want your
(I don't want your)
I don't want your
(I don't want your)
I don't want your
(I don't want your)
Oh...
Freedom [Wham!]
George Michael's 1984 single "Freedom" stands as a defining track of the synth-pop era, originally released under his stage name Wham!. The song features a distinctive production style characterized by driving basslines and atmospheric synthesizers, creating an upbeat yet emotionally resonant atmosphere that became a hallmark of the duo's sound. As a key component of their discography, it exemplifies the genre's ability to blend danceable rhythms with introspective themes. The track remains a staple in the catalog of both Wham! and George Michael's solo work, celebrated for its enduring appeal and its role in shaping the musical landscape of the mid-1980s. Its inclusion in later deluxe editions highlights its status as a significant piece of pop history.
