If You Love Somebody Set Them Free

[Intro] Free free set them free [4x] [Verse 1] If you need somebody, call my name If you want someone, you can do the same If you want to keep something precious You got to lock it up and throw away the key If you want to hold onto your possession Don't even think about me [Chorus] If you love somebody If you love someone If you love somebody If you love someone 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 want to be [Chorus] [Bridge] You can't control an independent heart Can't tear the one you love apart 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 we want to possess [Verse 1] [Chorus]
