Freedom! '90

Lyricist: GEORGE MICHAEL     Composer: GEORGE MICHAEL

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
I 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, yeah yeah
I won't let you down
(Freedom)
I will not give you up
(Freedom)
Gotta have some faith
Gotta have some faith in the sound
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 (ooh yeah)
We won the race
Got out of the place
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 me some 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, yeah yeah
I won't let you down
(Freedom)
I will not give you up
(Freedom)
Gotta have some faith
Gotta have some faith in the sound
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
Oh
(Eeh, eeh, eeh) I will not let you down
(Eeh, eeh, eeh, eeh, eeh)
Eh eh eh eh
Freedom, freedom
(Gotta have some faith in the sound)
Have some faith in the sound, oh oh
(Freedom, freedom)
(Freedom) Freedom
Hey yeah
Oh, we can do
(Is take these lies)
And make them true
(Somehow)
(All we have to see) Oh
(Is that I don't belong to you) Freedom
(And you don't belong to me) Freedom
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
I will not give you up
It's the one good thing that I've got
