Shirley Lewis - Freedom! '90 lyrics
[Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 I won't let you down, freedom I will not give you up, freedom Gotta have some faith in the sound You got to give what you take It's the one good thing that I've got, freedom I won't let you down, freedom So please don't give me up, freedom Cause I would really, really love to stick around [Verse 2] Heaven knows we sure had some fun, boy What a kick, just a buddy and me We had every big-shot goodtime band on the run, boy We were living in a fantasy 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 myself happy [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 I won't let you down, freedom I will not give you up, freedom Gotta have some faith in the sound You got to give what you take It's the one good thing that I've got, freedom I won't let you down, freedom So please don't give me up, freedom Cause I would really, really love to stick around [Bridge] Well it looks like the road to heaven But it feels like the road to hell When I knew which side my bread was bu*tered I took the knife as well Posing for another picture Everybody's got to sell But when you shake your a** 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 [Chorus] 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 I won't let you down, freedom I will not give you up, freedom Gotta have some faith in the sound You got to give what you take It's the one good thing that I've got, freedom I won't let you down, freedom So please don't give me up, freedom Cause I would really, really love to stick around [Outro] 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
