Free

(album: Soulsville - 2010)

Honey, stop your lying
You ain't gotta lie no more
Sugar, stop your cheating
You ain't gotta cheat no more

'Cause I love the dirty things you do at night
It bears to come to the light
I can see clearly now

Take off your mask, baby
I can see right through your soul
And what I see is a doggone thing
Don't know why I didn't see it before

You misused my love for so long
Threw me love
Like you throw an old dog a bone
That's why the name of this song is

Free
(Free, glad I got over you)
Glad I got over you
Say it again for the benefit of those who didn't hear
Said I'm free, free, glad I got over you
(Glad I got over you)

When you do me like you do me
Tell me what can a poor boy do?

I can fall in love
Let it flow wherever it please
If you're trying to be a sweet angel in my room
But loving you I just couldn't see, here's why

You misused my love for so long
Threw me love
Like you throw an old dog a bone

Can't wait to stake
And you know that's wrong
Even a dog that gets tired
Wants to bury that bone

Said I'm free, free, I'm over you
Said I'm free, free, I'm over you

Sitting in a room alone
While the rain is falling
Sitting by the telephone
But you never, never calling

Said I'm free, free, I'm over you
Said I'm free, free, I'm over you
(Lord, help me)
Free, free, I'm over you
Free, free, I'm over you
