You want to let it be
But the beat is different every time
Crying is a crime
Because you love to do it every time

Grow a little more
And you let go a little more
And if the circumstances change
You can learn to play the game

[Chorus]
Freedom ain't free
If I can't get free with you
Freedom ain't free
If I can't get free with you
Just like me ain't me
If I can't be me with you
Just like me ain't me
If I can't be me with you

Realize you

I want to be your boyfriend
And I want to be your girlfriend
And I want to take you to there
And I want to watch you do it
But you grow a little more
And you let go a little more
And if the circumstances change
You can learn to play the game

[Chorus x2]
Freedom ain't free
If I can't get free with you
Freedom ain't free
If I can't get free with you
Just like me ain't me
If I can't be me with you
Just like me ain't me
If I can't be me with you

Realize you

[Bridge x4]
Have you
Been you
With you
Lately?
Cause you haven't been you with me

You want to let it be
But the beat is different every time
Crying is a crime
Because you love to do it every time
I want to be your boyfriend
And I want to be your girlfriend
And I want to take you to there
And I want to watch you do it

Grow a little more
And you let go a little more
And if the circumstances change
You can learn to play the game

Freedom ain't free
If I can't get free with you
Freedom ain't free
If I can't get free with you
Just like me ain't me
If I can't be me with you
Just like me ain't me
If I can't be me with you

Realize you
Realize you
