FREEDOM

(Note: These are the George Michael "Freedom 90" lyrics -

Robbie omits some of them in his version)

(G. Michael)

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

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
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 something 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

Freedom, you've gotta give for what you take
Freedom, you've gotta give for what you take

Heavon knows we sure had some fun boy, 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 won the race, got out of the place, I 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

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 the frame
Don't think that I'll 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, you've gotta give for what you take
Freedom, you've gotta give for what you take

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

Thats what you get, I say that's what you get
Thats 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

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
