Freedom Lyrics By George Michael

    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
    oh yeah

    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
    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
    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

    heaven knows we sure had some fun boy
    what a kick just a buddy and me
    what a kick just a buddy and me
    we had every bigshot 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
    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
    dont think that ill 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
    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

    well it looks like the road to heaven
    but it feels like the road to hell
    when i knew which side my bread was buttered
    i took the knife as well
    posing for another picture
    everybody’s got to sell
    but when you shake your ass
    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

    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

    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
