If You Love Somebody Set Them Free Lyrics“If You Love Somebody Set Them Free” was also Sting’s first single in his solo career after disbanding The Police. It was written by Sting as an ‘antidote’ for “Every Breath You Take”, in which the… Read More [Intro]
Free, free, set them free (Oh, whoa, whoa)
Free, free, set them free (Oh)
Free, free, set them free
Free, free, set them free
[Verse 1]
If you need somebody (Free, free, set them free)
Call my name (Free, free, set them free)
If you want someone (Free, free, set them free)
You can do the same (Free, free, set them free)
If you wanna keep something precious (Free, free, set them free)
You gotta lock it up and throw away the key (Free, free, set them free)
If you wanna hold onto your possession (Free, free, set them free)
Don't even think about me (Free, free, set them free)
[Chorus]
If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone, set them free (Free, free, set them free)
Set them free (Free, free, set them free)
Set them free (Free, free, set them free)
Set them free (Free, free, set them free)
[Verse 2]
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 you just can't see
Or a beast in a gilded cage
That's all some people ever wanna be
Free, free, set them free)
Set them free (Free, free, set them free)
Set them free (Free, free, set them free)
Set them free (Free, free, set them free)
[Bridge]
You can't control an independent heart
(Can't hold what you can't keep)
Can't tear the one you love apart
(Can't love what you can't keep)
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 there, we want to possess
[Verse 1]
If you need somebody, call my name
If you want someone
You can do, you can do, you can do the same
If you wanna keep something precious
You gotta lock it up and throw away the key
You wanna hold onto your possession
Don't even think about me
Free, free, set them free)
Set them free (Free, free, set them free)
Set them free (Free, free, set them free, oh)
Set them free (Free, free, set them free)
[Outro]
Set them free (Free, free, set them free)
Set them free (Free, free, set them free)
Set them free (Free, free, set them free)
Set them free (Free, free, set them free)
Set them free (Free, free, set them free)
Set them free (Free, free, set them free)<div
