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
If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone
set them free
set them free
set them free
set them free
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
If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone
set them free
set them free
set them free
set them free
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
If you need somebody
call my name
If you want someone
you can do
you can do
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
If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone
set them free
set them free
set them free
set them free
set them free
set them free
set them free
set them free
set them free
set them free
