I Want To Break Free
Lisa Stansfield · Other Songs - Lisa Stansfield
I want to break free;
I want to break free from your lies
I am so satisfied I don't need you;
I've got to break free;
God knows;
God knows I want to break free;
I've fallen in love;
I've fallen in love for the first time
and this time I know it's for real
I've fallen in love;
God knows;
God knows I've fallen in love;
It's strange but it's true;
I can't get over the way you like me like you do;
But I have to be sure when I walk out that door;
Oh how I want to be free;
Oh how I want to be free;
Oh how I want to break free;
But life still goes on;
I can't get used to livin' without, livin' without, livin' without you by my side;
I don't want to live alone;
God knows;
I've got to make it on my own;
So baby can't you see;
I've got to break free;
I've got to break free;
I want to break free;
I want I want I want I want to break free;
