Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Yes, I am mother nature's son (Ooh-ooh)

And I'm the only one

I do what I want and I want what I see (Ooh-ooh)

Huh, could only happen to me

[Chorus]

I'm so free (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

I'm so free (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Instrumental]

Oh, please, Saint Germaine (Ooh-ooh)

I have come this way

Do you remember the shape I was in? (Ooh-ooh)

I had horns and fins

[Chorus]

I'm so free (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

I'm so free (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Verse 2]

Do you remember the silver walks?

You used to shiver and I used to talk

Then we went down to Times Square

And ever since, I've been hanging 'round there

[Chorus]

I'm so free (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

I'm so free (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Verse 3]

Yes, I am mother nature's son (Ooh-ooh)

And I'm the only one

I do what I want and I want what I see (Ooh-ooh)

Could only happen to me

[Chorus]

I'm so free (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

I'm so free (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Outro]

Oh, oh, oh, I'm so free

Oh, oh, oh, I'm so free

Oh, oh, oh, I'm so free

In the morning, I'm so free

Late in the evening, I'm so free

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so free

When I feel good, I'm so free

When it's in the morning, I'm so free

When it's in the evening, I'm so free

I'm so free, I'm so free

I'm so free, I'm so free

Feel so good, now, I'm so free

Oh, oh, oh, I'm so free

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so free

Oh, oh, oh, I'm so free

Feel so good, now, I'm so free

Feeling real nice, I'm so free

Really mellow down, now, I'm so free

Oh, so good, I'm so free

I'm so free, I'm so free

I'm so free, I'm so free

I'm so free, I'm so free

I'm so free, I'm so free
