George Michael Freedom lyrics

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
Because I would really
Really love to stick around

Heaven knows, I was just a young boy
Didn't know what I wanted to be
I was every little hungry schoolgirl's
Pride and joy

And I guess, it was enough for me
To win the race? A prettier face
Brand new clothes and a big fat place
On your rock and roll TV

But today the way I play the game
Is not the same
No way
Think I'm gonna get me some happy

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
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you and you don't belong to me

Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take

Heaven knows, we sure had some fun boy
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 fantasy
We won the race
Got out of the place
I went back home, got a brand new face


For the boys on MTV
But today, the way I play the game has got to change
Oh yeah
Now 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 and you don't belong to me

Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
Freedom
You've gotta give for 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
And some mistakes were built to last

That's what you get
I say that's what you get
That's what you get for changing
Your mind

And after all this time
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes
Do not make the man

I'll hold on to my freedom
May not be what you want from me
Just the way it's got to be
Lose the face now , I've got to live
