Free

Honey, stop your lyin'
You ain’t gotta lie no more
Sugar, stop your cheatin'
You ain’t gotta cheat no more
'Cause I love the dirty things you do at night
It bears to come to the light
I can see clearly now
Take off your mask, baby
I can see right through your soul
And what I see is a doggone thing
Don’t know why I didn’t see it before
You misused my love for so long
Threw me love
Like you throw an old dog a bone
That’s why the name of this song is
Free
(Free, glad I got over you)
Glad I got over you
Say it again for the benefit of those who didn’t hear
Said I’m free, free, glad I got over you
(Glad I got over you)
When you do me like you do me
Tell me what can a poor boy do?
I can fall in love
Let it flow wherever it please
If you’re trying to be a sweet angel in my room
But loving you I just couldn’t see, here’s why
You misused my love for so long
Threw me love
Like you throw an old dog a bone
Can’t wait to stake
And you know that’s wrong
Even a dog that gets tired
Wants to bury that bone
Said I’m free, free, I’m over you
Said I’m free, free, I’m over you
Sitting in a room alone
While the rain is falling
Sitting by the telephone
But you never, never calling
Said I’m free, free, I’m over you
Said I’m free, free, I’m over you
(Lord, help me)
Free, free, I’m over you
Free, free, I’m over you
