Free

Honey, stop your lyin'

You ain't gotta lie no more

Sugar, stop your cheatin'

You ain't gotta cheat no more

'Cause I love the dirty things you do at night

It bears to come to the light

I can see clearly now

Take off your mask, baby

I can see right through your soul

And what I see is a doggone thing

Don't know why I didn't see it before

You misused my love for so long

Threw me love

Like you throw an old dog a bone

That's why the name of this song is

Free

(Free, glad I got over you)

Glad I got over you

Say it again for the benefit of those who didn't hear

Said I'm free, free, glad I got over you

(Glad I got over you)

When you do me like you do me

Tell me what can a poor boy do?

I can fall in love

Let it flow wherever it please

If you're trying to be a sweet angel in my room

But loving you I just couldn't see, here's why

You misused my love for so long

Threw me love

Like you throw an old dog a bone

Can't wait to stake

And you know that's wrong

Even a dog that gets tired

Wants to bury that bone

Said I'm free, free, I'm over you

Said I'm free, free, I'm over you

Sitting in a room alone

While the rain is falling

Sitting by the telephone

But you never, never calling

Said I'm free, free, I'm over you

Said I'm free, free, I'm over you

(Lord, help me)

Free, free, I'm over you

Free, free, I'm over you
