If You Love Somebody Set Them Free Lyrics

If you need somebody, call my name

 If you want someone, you can do the same

 If you want to keep something precious

 You got to lock it up and throw away the key

 If you want to hold onto your possession

 Don't even think about me

 

 If you love somebody, set them free

 

 If it's a mirror you want, just look into my eyes

 Or a whipping boy, someone to despise

 Or a prisoner in the dark

 Tied up in chains you just can't see

 Or a beast in a gilded cage

 That's all some people ever want to be

 

 If you love somebody, set them free

 

 You can't control an independent heart

 Can't tear the one you love apart

 Forever conditioned to believe that we can't live

 We can't live here and be happy with less

 So many riches, so many souls

 Everything we see we want to possess

 

 If you need somebody, call my name

 If you want someone, you can do the same

 If you want to keep something precious

 You got to lock it up and throw away the key

 If you want to hold onto your possession

 Don't even think about me

 

 If you love somebody, set them free
