Lyrics

Set My Baby Free

[Verse 1]

Said he was man, what did he know?

Spent his time living in a casino never know

Couldn't get away, couldn't ever get it anyway

Couldn't ever level 'cause he's living like a devil, hey

[Chorus]

Hey, you ugly people

I want you to set my baby free

Hey, people

Set my baby free

[Verse 2]

Came upon a man in tune with his libido

Took another's wife to help him get to sleep, so

Never know

Couldn't get away, couldn't ever get it anyway

Couldn't ever level 'cause he's living like a devil, hey

[Pre-Chous]

When she turns to smile, I light up from inside

Walking miles and you ain't got nobody by your side

[Chorus]

Hey, ugly people

I want you to set my baby free

Hey, people

Set my baby free

[Pre-Chous]

When she turns to smile, I light up from inside

Walking miles and you ain't got nobody by your side

[Outro]

Hey, ugly people

I want you to set my baby free

Hey, people

Set my baby free

Hey, (set my baby) people (set my baby)

Set my baby free

Set my baby free
