Well, I've had a drink or two
And I could close this old bar down
Baby, if it won't be you
Somebody else will bring me 'round

You say there's not enough to gain
Yeah, you've made that all too clear
But I'll be waiting just the same
Because the less I see you, the more I need you here

Set me free
I don't want your sympathy
Leave me to my misery
Baby, set me fee

Morning comes too soon
And my head feels all undone
And in the light I saw the truth
And I had nowhere to run

Bu I'm a mess since you've been gone
I get no company 'round here
The loneliness is far too strong
The pounding of the rain is the only sound I hear, yeah

You gotta set me free
Don't keep my heart in custody
I am not your property
Baby, set me free

Say the word and I'm gone forever
But will your memory still be haunting me?
I only wanted to be, yours forever
Could that be worse than what I'm going through, going through

Well, it's late, the lights are low and I turn on my radio
You can't hush away my tears
It seems the less I see you, the more I need you here
Right here right now

You gotta set me free
Don't keep my heart in custody
I am not your property
You gotta set me free
