[Verse 1]
There ain't no reason why you let me wait
Just give me up and I will go, let's set it straight
(Let's set it straight, let's set it)
Got a right to who I am
And if I don't fit your plan then set me free

[Chorus 1]
But you refuse to set me free
(Set me free)
And you deny me of my needs
(Don't deny me any needs)
You have me under lock and key
(Set me free)
Just set me free, just set me free

[Verse 2]
You never cared for what I had to say
It's just because you got to have it all your way
(Can't have it, just can't have it)
Well, I ain't no superman
If that's what you demand then set me free

[Chorus 2]
Couldn't you please just set me free
(Set me free)
You get your fun just hurting me
(Is that how you get your fun?)
If this is how it's going to be
(Set me free)
Just set me free, just set me free
[Bridge]
Now I deserve to be as mad as hell because
I just don't get it
I place myself in your hands to fall
But I'm not quitting, no

[Saxophone solo]

[Verse 3]
Feels like the time we spent was gone to waste
Sooner or later it's goodbye, we're gonna say
(Let's say it straight, let's say it)
'Cause you just don't give a damn
So go find some other man and set me free

[Chorus 3]
Just don't refuse to set me free
(Set me free)
You can't deny me of my needs
(Don't deny me any needs)
Just turn your head to hear my plea
(Set me free)
Just set me free, just set me

[Chorus 2]
Couldn't you please just set me free
(Set me free)
You get your fun just hurting me
(Is that how you get your fun?)
If this is how it's going to be
(Set me free)
Just set me free, just set me free
[Chorus 1]
Just don't refuse to set me free
You can't deny me of my needs
Just turn your head to hear my plea
Just set me free...
