Lyrics

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 (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 (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 (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 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 Freedom (I won't let you down) Freedom (I will not give you up) Freedom (Gotta have some faith in the sound) You've 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) You've got to give what you take (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 big-shot goodtime band on the run, boy We were living in a fantasy (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 (Boys on MTV) But today the way I play the game has got to change, oh yeah Now I'm gonna get myself 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 I 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 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) You got to give what you take (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 build to last (That's what you get) That's what you get (That's what you get) I say that's what you get (I say that's what you get for changing your mind) That's what you get for changing your mind (That's what you get) (That's what you get) 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, yeah yeah Freedom (Oh) Freedom (My) Freedom You've gotta give for what you take Freedom (I'll hold on to my) Freedom (My) Freedom You got to give what, to give what, give what you take Yeah! You got to give what, give to what, to give 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
