Freedom '90

Song by George Michael. The verses in the end of the song (inside brackets) usually appear in the lyrics, but are not actually sung (the music fades away before that, both in the record and the video-clip).


I won't let you down
I will not give you up
Gotta have some faith in my sound
It's the one good thing that I've
Got

I won't let you down
So please don't give me up
'Cos I would really, really love
To stick around
Oh, yeah

[instrumental interlude]

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)
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 the 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 my sound
(You've gotta give for 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)
'Cos I would really, really love
(You've gotta give for what you take)
To stick around

Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy
What a kick just a boy would be
(What a kick just a boy would be)
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
I 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 stop the show
There's something deep inside of me
There's someone I forgot to be
Take back your picture in the frame
Don't think that I'll be back again
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

[repeat * **]
To stick around

[short instrumental interlude]

Well it looks like the road to heaven
but if 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 she get)
That's what she get
(That's what she get)
I say that's what she get
(That's what she get)
(Changing your mind)
It's what you get for changing your mind
(That's what she get)
(That's what she get)
And after all this time
(I just hope you understand)
(Sometimes the clothes do not make the man)

[repeat *]

(Freedom)
Oh!
(Freedom)
My
(Freedom)
You've gotta give for what you take
(Freedom)
I'll hold on to my
(Freedom)
My
(Freedom)
You've gotta give for what you take
What you give, what you take, ye-hey
Yeah!
You've gotta give, what you give, what you give
May not be what you want from me
Just the way it's got to be
{Loose the face now}
{I've got to live}
