Freedom

(Album: Ladies & Gentlemen: The Songs Of George Michael - 2014)

Freedom, freedom, freedom
Freedom, freedom, freedom
Freedom, freedom, freedom
Freedom, freedom, freedom

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, stick around
Oh yeah, oh

Heaven knows I was just a young boy
Didn't know what I wanted to be (Didn't know what I wanted to be), hey
I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy
And I guess it was enough for me (And I guess it was enough for me)
To win the race, a prettier face
Brand new clothes got a big fat place
On your rock and roll TV (Rock and roll TV)
But today the way I play the game is got to change, oh yeah
Think I'm gonna get me some happy
Let me hear you Melbourne

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
Take these lies and make them true
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And that you don't belong to me, yeah
(Freedom), I won't let you down (Freedom)
I will not give you up (Freedom)
Gotta have some faith in the sound
You got to give what you take
(Freedom), I won't let you down (Freedom)
So please don't give me up (Freedom)
You got to give what you take

Heaven knows we sure had some fun, boy
What a kick, just a buddy and me (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 fantas, (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 (Boys on MTV), oh
But today the way I play the game has got to change oh yeah
Think 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
You don't belong to me, let me hear you
Freedom
I won't let you down (Freedom)
I will not give you up (Freedom)
Gotta have some faith in the sound
You got to give what you take
(Freedom), I won't let you down (Freedom)
So please don't give me up (Freedom)
Cause I would really, really love to stick around (You got to give 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
Some mistakes were built to last
That's what you get, oh that's what you get
That's what you get, oh 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
That's what you get, oh that's what you get
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

All we have to do now
Take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And that you don't belong to me (Yeah)
Freedom (Oh!)
Freedom yeah, freedom
You got to give what you take
Freedom, oh freedom
Yeah freedom
You got to give what you take
Let me hear you

Freedom, freedom yeah, freedom
You got to give what you take
Freedom, yeah I won't let you down, freedom
I will not give you up, freedom
You got to give what you take
Alright this is your turn
Freedom, freedom let me hear you, freedom
You got to give what you take
Freedom, freedom, freedom
You got to give what you take
