If you need somebody, call my name
If you want someone, you can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
Just lock the door and throw away the key
If you want to hold on to your possession
Don't even think about me

If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone
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 that you cannot see
Or a beast in a gilded cage
That's all some people want to be

If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone
Set them free
You gotta set them free
Yeah yeah, you do
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 that we want to possess

If you need somebody, call my name
If you want someone, you can do, you can do the same, yes you can
If you want to keep something precious
Just lock the door and throw away the key
If you want to hold on to your possession
Don't even think about me

If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone
Set them free
You gotta set them free
