[Intro] Free, free, set them free Free, free, set them free Free, free, set them free Free, free, set them free [Verse 1] If you need somebody (Free, free, set them free) Call my name (Free, free, set them free) If you want someone (Free, free, set them free) You can do the same (Free, free, set them free) If you want to keep something precious (Free, free, set them free) You got to lock it up and throw away the key (Free, free, set them free) If you want to hold onto your possession (Free, free, set them free) Don't even think about me (Free, free, set them free) [Chorus] If you love somebody (Love somebody) If you love someone (Love somebody) If you love somebody (Love somebody) If you love someone set them free (Free, free, set them free) Set them free (Free, free, set them free) Set them free (Free, free, set them free) Set them free (Free, free, set them free) [Verse 2] If it's a mirror you want Just look into my eyes Or a whipping boy Someone to despise Or a prisoner in the dark Tied up in chains you just can't see Or a beast in a gilded cage That's all some people ever want to be [Chorus] If you love somebody (Love somebody) If you love someone (Love somebody) If you love somebody (Love somebody) If you love someone set them free (Free, free, set them free) Set them free (Free, free, set them free) Set them free (Free, free, set them free) Set them free (Free, free, set them free) [Bridge] You can't control an independent heart Can't tear the one you love apart Forever conditioned to believe that we can't live We can't live here and be happy with less So many riches, so many souls Everything we see that we want to possess [Verse 2] If you need somebody Call my name If you want someone You can do, you can do, you can do the same If you want to keep something precious You got to lock it up and throw away the key Want to hold onto your possession? Don't even think about me [Chorus] If you love somebody (Love somebody) If you love someone (Love somebody) If you love somebody (Love somebody) If you love someone set them free (Free, free, set them free) Set them free (Free, free, set them free) Set them free (Free, free, set them free) Set them free (Free, free, set them free) Set them free, free, free (Free, free, set them free) Set them free, free, free (Free, free, set them free) Set them free, free, free (Free, free, set them free) Set them free, free, free (Free, free, set them free) (Free, free, set them free) (Free, free, set them free) (Free, free, set them free) Set them free
