Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Free me
Free me
Why won't you free me?
Free me from your spell
Come on and free me
Why won't you free me?
Come on and free me
Free me from your spell
[Verse 2]
Why should I worry that you might not love?
You're not the only love that l've ever had
Your sweet memory will always comfort me
So why should I be feelin' sad?
As for as I can tell
You knew so well
I was always at the end of the line
I've loved you as much
As any man can
But not enough to make you mine
[Verse 3]
So long, easy rider
I know I'll miss you for a while
But sooner or later
I know that I'll forget you
And I tell you, baby
[Verse 4]
Free me
Come on and free me
Why won't you free me?
Free me from your spell
Oh, baby, free me
Why won't you free me?
Come on and free me
Free me from your spell
[Verse 5]
We let a good love die
We let it pass us by
Though you try to keep me hangin' on
But with all this doubt
It'll never work out
So tomorrow I'll be travelin' on
[Verse 6]
And sayin' so long, easy rider
I know I'll miss you for a while
But sooner or later
I know that I'll forget you
And I'm beggin', baby
[Verse 7]
Free me
Oh, yeah, come on and free me
Why won't you free me?
Free me from your spell
Oh, yeah, come on and free me
I'm on my knees, baby
Free me
Why won't you free me?
Free me from your spell
[Verse 8]
Free me
Oh, babe, come on, free me
Come on and free me, babe
Why won't you free me?
Oh, free me from your spell
Oh, yeah, come on and free me
