Lyrics

And I just got to be me
Me
Me
Whispering in his ear
My magic potion for love
Telling him I'm sincere
And that there's nothin' too good for us
But I want to be free
Free
Free
And I just got to be me, yeah
Me
Me
Teasing hands on his mind
Give our nights such mystery
Happiness all the time
Oh, and how that man pleases me
But I want to be free
I just got to be me
Feeling you close to me
Makes all my senses smile
Let's not waste ecstasy
'Cause I'll only be here for a while
I've got to be free
Free
Free, oh
And I just got to be me, yeah, yeah
Me
Me, oh
Free, free, free, oh baby (I just got to be me )
And I just wanna
