Free Love

(album: Save The Children - 1989)

This is a real cruel story in this world, right?
It's just a fact of life
I don't care how you look at it
But you got to look at it with your good eye
Check it out

Now let me tell you the truth
I want to make love to you
I dream of your sweet body
And how nice it be loving you tonight
Now, we both are old enough
To do whatever, ever, uh, we want
But sometimes I leave you without
In order to keep things right

Because the love I give to you, baby, is free love
Not just how much can you do for me, love
The love I give to you, baby, is free love
Not just how much can you do for me
They call it free love, free love
Trying to lay your body down
They call it free love, free love
Trying to lay your body down, listen to me now

Some of the guys might tell you tales
Trying to lay your body down
And they'll leave you sleeping on the bitterness
And be nowhere around
They wanna feel nice for one night
But couldn't pay the price for the rest of your life
Before we get physical, we need to take some time
But before I touch your body, I gotta touch your mind

'Cause the love I give to you, baby, is free love
Not just how much can you do for me, love
The love I give to you, baby, is free love
Not just how much can you do for me
They call it free love, free love
Trying to lay your body down
They call it free love, free love
Trying to lay your body down

Yeah, you better watch that, baby
Don't give it up too fast
You gotta check him out
You gotta sorta step back and look at him with your good eye
When guys get talking
They'll say anything to get it
I know, I've been there
They call it free love, but you got to watch today
You might get something

I've been driving down the street on patrol duty
Trying to lay somebody down
But my eyes was moving in a nervous wreck
I couldn't know where to be found
I said, "Lady, you've better drive a little faster
Somebody's running along the side
He said, "Adjust your mirror, and if it's really true
You better jump out and try to hide"

He said
Free love, free love
Trying to lay your body down
Free love, free love
Trying to lay your body down
Free love, free love
Trying to lay your body down
Free love, free love
Trying to lay your body down

Free love, free love
Trying to lay your body down
Free love, free love
Trying to lay your body down
Free love, free love
Trying to lay your body down
Free love, free love
Trying to lay your body down

Free love, free love
Trying to lay your body down
Free love, free love
Trying to lay your body down
Free love, free love
Trying to lay your body down
Free love, free love
Trying to lay your body down
